    Wunderbare Tour mit viel zum Anschauen und toller Aussicht. Leider war der Weg am Start gesperrt und wir mussten einen kleinen Bogen machen über die Burg.

    Sehr schöne Wanderung - durch den vielen Schatten vor allem für den Hochsommer geeignet. Sind von Laufen nach Aesch gelaufen und würden empfehlen ab Pfeffingen Dorf mit dem Bus zu fahren - nach Aesch runterlatschen ist recht öde.

    Schöne Tour, über weite Strecken angenehm schattig aber dadurch auch nicht beste Aussichten. Fantastisch ist, den letzten Teil kurz vor Laufen zur Zeit der Bärlauch-Blüte zu durchwandern - auch olfaktorisch ein Genuss.
