We did this tour in late November. With the exception of the two short pieces along the road we saw absolutely no-one. However, we did see loads of deer - one herd tried to hide behind a bush from us. Wow, the smell!
Map details: WM Rheingau Rad- und Wanderkarte. 1:40 000
The trail doesn't seem to be well used. The map indicates following route W5 but this is not marked from the car park and it took us a while to find the right route.
A nice, varied woodland walk without too much exertion after the first uphill bit. A short bit of open farmland and a few metres along a public road until you pick up W4 (also not marked!).
As ever, the Garmin didn't perform too well in the woods and hills so I have re-worked the plot as a route overlaid in Magicmaps Hessen 3D.
The Wispertal is a superb river valley, well worth the drive on its own. Some nice restaurants and watering holes to refresh afterwards are along this road.

There is a car park between Laukenmühle and Geroldstein on the Wispertalstrasse from Lorch. The map indicates that route W5 leaves the car park up the hill. This is someone's idea of a joke - unless you bring climbing gear. You need to walk a few hundred metres along the Wispertalstrasse towards Lorch and then take the forestry track upwards on your right hand side. A brisk, but not too steep, climb.

Nice Tour!
The first stretch is really in bad repair - the trail is not maintained, and I had to climb across quite a few fallen trees.
