    Der Tourenbeschreib hält sein Versprechen. Einen Aussichtsreichen Rund Wanderweg, der Geschichte zum anfassen, lebendig werden lässt. Die Grillstellen sind mit Gitter Rost ausgestattet und an top Lagen. Zeitangabe und Schwierigkeitsgrad entsprechen der Beschreibung. Die Tour war perfekt abgerundet mit dem Einkehr im Restaurant Dürstel. Super freundlichen Bedienung und Spitzen Angebot so wie Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.

    Schöne Wanderung ! Der Rückweg ist am Anfang recht schwer zu finden und nicht offiziell ein Wanderweg - aber wenn man in mal gefunden hat - sehr schön und einsam.

    Abwechslungsreiche Wanderung. Wie bereits erwähnt führt einem die beschriebene Tour kurz vor dem Weiler "Hof Wald" über offenes, nicht gekennzeichnetes Gelände, was einigermassen verwirrend war. Vom Kloster Schönthal einfach den offiziellen Wegweisern bis zur Geissflue folgen. Kurz vor Schluss empfiehlt sich eine Stärkung in der sehr sympathischen Bergwirtschaft Dürstel.

    Sehr schöne Rundtour. Vor Schönthal aber nicht der Karte folgen, sondern der Beschilderung Geissthal, Belchenflue nördliche des Weilers. Von der Belchenflue kommend bietet sich der Weg nach Süden(westen) an, der über Stufen auch nach Dürstel führt, vorbei an artenrichen Kalkhalbtrockenrasen und dem Hof Gwidem.

    Wunderschöne, abwechslungsreiche Wanderung! Von Wäldern zu Bergen und schönen Aussichten. Die Wege (vorallem der Abstieg) sind nicht ohne, aber machbar und es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall.

    Erste Etappe der Route durch Tüfelsschlucht bis zur Belchenflue war spektakulär, die Etappe zurück führte durch Weiden, zudem war der Weg teilweise kaum mehr zu erkennen und schlecht markiert. Dennoch ein Abenteuer wert!
