    Schöner naturnaher Rundweg. Teilweise schon sehr zugewachsen und verwuchert, deswegen am besten hohe Wanderschuhe und lange Hose anziehen. Der Weg ist aber durchgehend gut ausgeschildert.

    Die Runde kann ich guten Gewissens weiter empfehlen . Wir sind allerdings in Oberschlottwitz gestartet. Dort ist ist ein schöner großer kostenloser Parkplatz .Die 2 Km entlang der Hauptstraße und der Aufstieg hoch zur Märchenwiese ,das haben wir lieber am Anfang als am Ende der Tour ,wenn man schon einige Km in den Beinen hat.

    Ein wunderbarer Rundweg in herrlicher Natur, abwechslungsreich mit schönen Ausblicken, moderaten Anstiegen und schönen Wiesen- und Feldwegen. Wir hätten uns auf dem Wegstück von Ulberndorf bis Reinholdshain eine Ausschilderung und eine Bank bzw. einen Rastplatz gewünscht. Vielleicht ergibt sich das einmal.

    Hallo! Ich bin heute nur einen Teil abgelaufen und zwar von Kälberbusch nach Röhrsdorf (Apfelweg) und zurück (und zwar durchs Borthener Gründel, welches eine schöne Alternative zum Apfelrundweg ist). Hier hat sich jemand die Mühe gemacht und Brücken über das kleine Bächlein gebaut und Totholzhaufen errichtet. Ein paar Gedenksteine kann man auch betrachten. Umgefallene Bäume bleiben als Totholz liegen. Vielleicht trifft man auch auf einen einsamen Reiter. Vielleicht gehen wir ja mal im Frühjahr (Apfelblüte) dort zusammen lang und trinken noch einen Kaffee in Röhrsdorf...
