    Ich bin heute gegen den Uhrzeigersinn die Runde gewandert. Die abwechslungsreichen Wege sind gut zu gehen, perfekt ausgeschildert und in gutem Zustand. Es ist eine Runde ohne viele Höhepunkte, eher was um runterzukommen und die Natur zu genießen. Allerdings sind im letzten Teil die Geräusch von der B 7 nicht zu überhören.

    Kurz nach dem Start an der Grillhütte (entgegen dem Uhrzeigersinn) das Gefühl, eine wenig besondere Wanderung vor uns zu haben. Aber dem ist nicht so. Schöne Wege am Waldsaum, die meist den Blick in die Landschaft zulassen, im Wald geht's teilweise rauf und runter, dann um den Teich herum wieder eine andere Vegetation. Es ist zugegeben keine spektakuläre Wanderung (daher keine 5 Sterne), aber es ist eine wirklich sehr schöne Wanderung.

    Wirklich eine tolle Tour! Es gibt hier auch viele Bänke, an denen man z.T. auch sehr schön in der Sonne sitzen kann - auch im Herbst... 😁

    Tolle Tour mit viel Abwechslung beim Geläuf ;-) Leider mussten wir aber den nordwestlichen Bereich auslassen. Dort waren von der Waldarbeit noch so viele Zweige, Äste, Baumstämme sowie Fahrspuren in den Wegen, dass es für uns mit Kinderwagen dann doch zu mühselig wurde ... ansonsten eine wirklich tolle Tour und wir werden den ausgelassenen Teil nachholen :-)

    Wunderschöne, abwechslungsreiche Tour mit schönen Blicken auf die Landschaft. Der kleine Teich ist den kurzen Abstecher wert. Hervorragende Wegbeschilderung. Proviant mitnehmen, da keine Einkehrmoeglichkeit.

    Sehr schöne Tour! Inzwischen auch sehr gut mit Wanderzeichen versehen, Annika! ;-) Danke an Frank und Ulrike! Die Wegbeschreibung war top! Wir sind bei herrlichem Wetter gelaufen und der ganze Wald duftete nach Waldmeister. Diese Tour werden wir sicher noch einmal im Herbst laufen.

    Schöne Tour, die wir im Januar 2016 gelaufen sind. An einigen Stellen verpasst man leicht die Abzweigung bzw. die Kennzeichnung ist etwas irreführend. Da der Weg mit recht vielen Kennzeichen versehen ist, bemerkt der aufmerksame Wanderer aber recht schnell wenn er vom Weg abgekommen ist.
