    Im Großen und Ganzen tolle Tour. Je nach Wetterlage auch tolle Ausblicke. Das lange Teilstück im Wald, was sich gefühlt über Stunden auf dem Weg zum Hulftegg (bin andersrum gelaufen) mit langen Rechts- und Linkskurven zieht, fand ich sehr langweilig. Der Rest der Tour ist aber super.

    I enjoyed being myself on the route and not meeting others. Found peace. Fuchlochsbach creek is pretty, liked the tiny waterfalls and collected nice stones of the shore. Saw many kind of mushrooms on the route.

    Ich habe die Tour an einem sehr sonnigen Werktag im Januar gemacht. Die Wegbeschreibung lässt keine Wünsche offen, die Wegweiser sind top und sämtliche Wege gut ausgebaut. Da ich um 08:30 Uhr in Steg gestartet bin war ich bis zum Hörnli fast ausschliesslich alleine unterwegs, was am Wochenende sicher anders sein dürfte! Die Route ist konditionell anspruchsvoll, ich benötigte 5h reine Marschzeit. Die Route ist meiner Meinung nach nur bezüglich Kondition als schwierig einzustufen, gefährliche oder anspruchsvolle Passagen gibt es keine. Die Aussicht war in alle Richtungen grandios und liess keine Wünsche offen! Über die Qualität der Restaurants kann ich leider nichts sagen, da ich diese nicht besucht habe.
