    De volle 5* zonder twijfel. Geweldige tocht voor de liefhebbers van orchideeën en andere kalkminnende planten. Ondanks de wel erg frisse dag was de zon krachtig genoeg om in de warme en bebloemde hoekjes een explosie aan vlinders te laten rondfladderen. Direct aan de start is het vrouwenschoentje (letterlijk te nemen welteverstaan) te zien, en tijdens de klim op een stenige weg links en rechts een massa orchideeën. Eens boven loop je op brede weg en vrijwel vlak op heerlijk zachte ondergrond. Na een steile smalle afdaling volgt weer een zachte ondergrond op smal pad tot het dorp terug in zicht verschijnt.

    Großartige Wanderstrecke mit tollen Aussichten, ruhigen Waldabschnitten, schönen Dorfabschnitten. Die Beschilderung ist ein Traum, sogar Abstiege zu den Öffis sind mit ausgeschaltet. Einzig Schutzhütten fehlten mir. Zwar verstehe ich, dass Schutzhütten gewisse Probleme mit sich bringen aber überdachte Holzbänke wären bei Gewitter besser als nichts. Genug Wasser mitnehmen, die Auffüllmöglichkeiten halten sich in Grenzen.

    Sehr schöne, sehr lange Tour. Für Geübte auch mit dem MTB machbar (Schwierigkeit S2). Das erste Teilstück bis Lichtenhain erschliesst sich mir nicht wirklich: Wieso den Umweg zum Stadion? so schön ist es da nicht. Hat Luther da gekickt? Bei der Nikolaikirche in Lichtenhain unbedingt einen Stop einlegen. Hier gibt es von aussen durch Fenster sichtbare, freigelegte Gothische Malereien. Beim Cospoth empfehle ich die Abkürzung über den auf der Karte gut sichbaren Pfad zu nehmen, schon alleine der Aussicht wegen. Sehr gefallen hat mir das Dörfchen Seitenbrück, generell die Schleife hoch zur Leuchtenburg

    unabhängig von den Hodenkräutern eine sehr lohnende Tour. So war mir die hübsche Kirche in Winzerla unbekannt, auch . Ich empfehle einzig die letzte Etappe wegzulassen und die Bahn zu nehmen. hier verpasst man nichts

    Eine sehr schöne Wanderung; es war also keine "Orch Idee" diese Strecke zu laufen. Wir sind begeistert. Das kleine Karree beim Abstieg im Kolbenholz konnten wir nicht laufen; dort haben wir den Abstieg nicht gefunden, aber es gab noch ein paar Wege zur Auswahl, um nach Leutra zu gelangen. Das Mittagessen im "Ammersbacher Hof"ist zu empfehlen.
