    Der Weg ist sehr abwechslungsreich, mal durch den Wald, mal über Teer, mal nette Brücken, mal unter Felsen hindurch und am Schluss sogar noch kurz entlang einer Suone. Schade fand ich, dass die Telefonmasten teilweise die hübsche Landschaft "verschandelten". Der grösste Teil des Weges ist geschützt von der Sonne, was bei heissem Wetter perfekt ist. Aussichtsmässig hat die Wanderung weniger als andere zu bieten, ausser gegen Ende Sicht auf Brig. Ganz nett, aber sicher nicht die schönste Wanderung ever.

    Am Anfang ab Naters nach Hegdorn ein etwas steiler Aufstieg ( wir waren bei 32 Grad in der Mittagssonne unterwegs - puhhhh.... ) aber herrlich die Gegend, die Aussicht in's Rhonetal, der Blick zur Simplonpass-Strasse, dann runter durch den Hexenwald, über die Hängebrücke am Ausgang der Massaschlucht, nach Bitsch und wieder zurück nach Naters, war ein schönes Erlebnis ...

    Extrem schöne Tour mit sehr abwechslungsreicher Landschaft. Ende mai sehr viele blühende Blumen. Trittsicher und ohne grössere höhenangst sollte man schon sein- belohnt wird man mit atemberaubenden Aussichten, verwunschen wirkenden Wäldern und ein kleines bischen Nervenkitzel. Abstecher zum Gibidum Stausee lohnt sich nur, wenn man sich die Folgen des Klimawandels mal bewusst machen will- der ist trotz Schneeschmelze relativ wenig gefüllt.
