From its start point at Mühlacker the route runs via Öschelbronn and Eutingen an der Enz to the northern edge of the borough of Pforzheim.

Passing the Wallberg it leads through very varied, open countryside to Ellmendingen, Dietenhausen and Langensteinbach.

Initially the der North Perimeter Way follows the Gäurand Way via the ruins of Löffelstelz to the south and the Eppingen Lines Way to Öschelbronn.

The way descends into the Enz valley to Eutingen and up the opposite side again to the Wartberg.

From Langensteinbach Town Hall the route runs in the direction of the A 8 motorway, which it passes under at Karlsbad.
