Rules:
Sudoku: Place the digits 1-9 into each row, column and outlined 3x3 box without repeats.
Snake: Draw a one-cell wide snake into the grid that moves orthogonally from cell to cell. The snake cannot touch itself orthogonally, but may touch itself diagonally. The two ends of the snake must be found by the solver.
German Whispers: The snake acts as a German Whisper line, i. e. adjacent digits along the snake must differ by at least 5.
Arrow clues: A digit in a cell with arrow(s) shows how many snake cells are seen in the indicated directions combined. The clued cell is not counted. A clued cell may or may not lie on the snake.
Puzzle Link: You can solve the puzzle in the CTC software.
Lösungscode: The digits OFF the snake in row 3.

Very nice first path puzzle ! Difficulty level did not feel that much harder than the other snake/loop/GW puzzles I have solved before. Previous knowledge of a couple of the tricks used here certainly helped. Thanks :)

Very cool and engaging puzzle till the very end!
Funny how this is actually your first ever path puzzle because of the attention to the smallest details in this one, which also allows for some beautiful yet funny logic there x)
