Elbschiffer Loop

From WPC unofficial wiki

Rules[edit]

Draw a closed loop along the dotted lines that uses each grid point at most once. The loop must pass through all marked grid points. Traveling along the loop, in each grid point marked + the loop must turn left and in each grid point marked × the loop must turn right. To find out in which direction to travel is part of the puzzle.
