    unsere letzte Etappe des Panoramaweges führt durch Wälder, Wiesen und Felder nach Markt Ebrach, wo man sich unbedingt die Klosteranlage anschauen sollte. Unser Fazit für diesen Weitwanderweg bis hierhin: Ganz nett, aber es ist halt kein zertifizierter Premium-Wanderweg, und das merkt man auch. Für unseren Geschmack gibt es zuwenig Rastplätze/Bänke - bei Tageswanderungen möchte man ja auch mal sein Butterbrot essen und das ist auf einer Bank sitzend halt viel angenehmer als auf einem Baumstumpf. Die Wegeführung könnte an einigen Stellen noch verbessert werden (zuviel Forststrassen/Schotterwege).

    Sehr schöne Strecke, die überwiegend auf Waldwegen und-pfaden führt. An der Stollburg wird man mit einem herrlichen Blick über das Handtal und Oberschwarzach belohnt.

    Stimmen voll mit Deiner Beschreibung überein. Überaus lohnenswert. Sind dann weitergelaufen und über den schönen Handthaler Graben zurück zum Parkplatz. Mit freundlichen Gruß von den Mittwochswanderfreunden.
