    Insgesamt eine nette, aussichtsreiche Wanderung mit schönen Pfaden, Felsen und verschiedenen Möglichkeiten zur Rast. Das Highlight war am Ende der Dorfbrunnen mit eiskaltem Wasser. Mit dem Abstecher auf den Kuhhunger waren es rund 14 km. Die Anfahrt war etwas kompliziert: Im Navi ggf zuerst Oberschlettenbach angeben und dann durch den Ort fahren (mir wurden Forstwege von der anderen Seite vorgeschlagen, die man nicht befahren darf). Am besten lässt sich in der Glimbornstraße 36 parken. Die Wanderung lässt sich sehr gut „rückwärts“ laufen. Leider haben derzeit alle Einkehrmöglichkeiten geschlossen - also genügend Trinken/Proviant mitnehmen.

    Very nice walk surprisingly quiet at the time of the year we did it, only the path going up the castle at the end didn't exist anymore and we had to do a bit through the brambles. Taking the next one which joins what was proposed here would have been a better choice. The whole walk was so nice, don't hesitate to do it!

    Entweder funktioniert die App von Outdooractive nicht richtig oder die Tourangaben stimmen nicht. Laut App waren es 17 Kilometer und über 700 Höhenmeter. Unabhängig davon ist das eine MEGA schöne Tour👍

    Mit den ganzen Aussichtspunkten bin ich bei knapp über 16km gelandet. Bei den Geiersteinen kann man für einen kurzen Abschnitt zw. schwer und leicht wählen. Der schwere Teil ist ebenfalls gut zu meistern. Fazit: Sehr schöne Tour, die für jeden mit mittlerer Kondition gut zu schaffen ist
