    Schöner Traumpfad mit abwechslungsreichen Passagen. Relativ wenige Pfade, aber der Weg durch die Heide macht es wieder gut. Unter den Eifelern Traumpfaden eine schöne, kürze Runde.

    Abwechslungsreiche Rundtour auf teilweise schmalen Wegen an Wacholderbüschen entlang, durch Wald und in der offenen Heidelandschaft. Wegeführung leicht auf und ab. Besondere Kondition braucht man nicht. Zwischendurch schöne Weitsichten. Ausreichend Bänke zum Rasten. Ich bin die Tour im Winter und im Sommer gegangen. Im Winter warm anziehen, ab und an sehr windig. Ich habe als Startpunkt die Wacholderhütte in Langscheid gewählt. Am Ende der Wanderung eine gute Gelegenheit hier einzukehren.

    abwechslungsreiche Tour durch Wacholder/Ginster Landschaft mit anschließender Strecke durch herrlich ruhigen Mischwald. Die Ab-und Anstiege halten sich sehr gut im Verhältnis. Schöne Aussichtspunkte mit Bänken.

    Der Weg ist Herrlich. Es war abwechslungsreich. Es ist sehr schön, da man Wald und Wiese hat. Oft hat man einen Herrlichen Ausblick. Die Heide ist ein Traum. Den werden wir auf alle Fälle wieder laufen. Es könnte vielleicht noch eine Bank im Wald stehen.

    Wir sind unter Anderem auch diesen „Traumpfad“ gelaufen,er gehört zu den schöneren! Die Beschilderung ist immer sehr gut! Die Bezeichnung „Traumpfad“ ist jedoch etwas hoch gegriffen (wie für alle Traumpfade). Die Bezeichnung „Wanderweg“ reicht unseres Erachtens völlig aus und weckt nicht unnötig hohe Erwartungen.

    Entspannte Runde, mit teils schöner Aussicht. Absolut für Familien geeignet, aber mit Kinderwagen oder Bollerwagen gar nicht zu empfehlen und teils nicht befahrbar. Beschilderung manchmal nicht gut platziert und man muss sehr aufmerksam sein.

    Netter Traumpfad mit schönen Passagen. Für die erste Hälfte mit dem Abstieg zur Nette und dem Weg entlang des Bachs würde ich 5 Sterne vergeben. Dann kommt jedoch ein ziemlich öder Teil, teils über Asphalt. Zum Ende hin wird's dann wieder interessanter mit einigen tollen Ausblicken.
