    Sehr schöner Weg, hoch und runter und auch ein paar ebene Streckenteile, viel Wald, ein paar Aussichten und keine Menschenseele ausser zwei Spaziergängern an einem Samstagmorgen. 3h50m insgesamt inkl. einer Pause zum Frühstücken, 413m Anstieg ... sehr gut ausgeschildert und manchmal hat man die Wisper wispern gehört ... einfach schön!

    Ich habe die Tour von unten am Park gestartet. Da ich mit dem Bus dort angekommenen bin. Von dort aus Geht es direkt aufwärts. Tour an sich war recht schön. ein teil der Waldwege aber sehr uneben. Kann man aber umgehen, wer es möchte. Ab den Aussichtspunkt, kommt einfach nur Wald. Später kommen 2 Weiher, ab dort auch wieder mehr zu sehen.

    Sehr schöner Trail, bin morgens um 7:30 Uhr los, noch Nebel über den Wipfeln, keine Seele zu sehen ... zum zweiten Mal, einfach sehr schön zu laufen und auch die Gedanken wandern zu lassen. Ausschilderung wie immer im Wisper-Tal perfekt, trotz der Starkregen der vorigen Woche nur auf ganz wenigen Teilen matschige Wege. Sehr zu empfehlen!

    Wunderschöner Weg, lang, aber angenehm zu laufen, man braucht etwas Kondition. Abwechslungsreich, über Felder, durch Wald und Ortschaft. Wie gewohnt perfekte Beschilderung, ein Wandergenuss!
