    Tolle Aussichten, sehr gut beschildert allerdings teilweise abweichend vom Track. Ab km 6 etwas eintönige Wege, am Ende aber noch mal schön :)

    Die Drachenflugtour führt an schönen Aussichtspunkten vorbei und durch ein angenehmes Mischwaldgebiet. Die Pfade sind gut begehbar, die Waldwege angehmen. Die Beschilderung (gelbes D auf blauem Grund) ist gut angebracht, die Tour sicher ausgeschildert. Der Einstieg am Schwimmbad ist perfekt zum Parken geeignet.

    Wir haben heute diese Tour gemacht, leider aber nach einer anderen Karte, die hier bei Outdoor zu finden war. Hält man sich an diese Route hier, wird man optimal geführt. Die Bezeichnung Klippenpfad finde ich allerdings etwas aufbauschend, da man sich größtenteils durch Feld, Wald und Wiese bewegt und nicht auf oder entlang der "Klippen". Sicher, das Stückchen Felsenwand ist durchaus pittoresk und sehenswert, rechtfertigt aber nicht den Namen. Alles in allem gesehen eine ganz nette Tour.
