    Schöne Aussichten über den Stausee. Leider viel kaputter Wald, aber auch schöne schattige Abschnitte durch Laubbäume. Einkehr am Wochenende in Drognitz ist zum Mittagessen sehr zu empfehlen.

    Einer der schönsten Wanderwege, die ich bisher gemacht habe. Die Wegauszeichnung ist hervorragend. Immer wenn es eine Weggabelung gab (auch bei neuen "Wegen" durch den Holzeinschlag), gab es auch eine Wegmarkierung durch Holzschild, Zeichen am Baum oä. Ich musste an keiner Stelle meine digitale Navigation nutzen. Die Ausblicke und Eindrücke sind hervorragend. Unterwegs gibt es genügend Stellen, an denen man sein Wasser auffüllen kann (Campingplätze, Gaststätten). Günstig wäre es, wenn an den Wegweisern Übernachtungsmöglichkeiten mit angeschlagen wären, die ein wenig abseits des Weges sind. Dadurch müsste man sein Smartphoneakku weniger belasten. Einzig bei den steilen Ab- und Anstiegen hätte ich mir mehr Bänke zum Verschnaufen gewünscht, aber das sind jetzt schon Luxus-Probleme.

    Eine wirkliche Tour der Superlative, wir sind im Mai 2019 gelaufen und waren total begeistert und gehen diese Tour garantiert noch einmal. Wer sich dafür interessiert, dem kann ich auch folgendes Video bei YouTube empfehlen. Das ist quasi Beschreibung und Zusammenfassung dieser Runde. Viel Spaß beim anschauen und nachwandern https://youtu.be/HDUxpnBAapo

    Berge, Wasser, Wald und Felsen - ein Wanderweg, der alles zu bieten hat. Herrliche Aussichtspunkte, hübsche kleine Dörfer auf den Höhen um die Saale und den Stausee, Museen und ländliche Gasthäuser machen den Weg zum Erlebnis.
