    Top Runde, vor allem auch mit Hunden sehr gut geeignet! Felsen, Schlösser, Ruinen, Höhlen, und das wunderbar ruhige Fehlatal - da ist wirklich alles drin. Ab Kilometer 12 könnte man im Prinzip auch links abbiegen und dem Wanderweg zurück zum Startpunkt folgen. Ebenfalls lohnend: Ein kleiner Abstecher zum überraschend tiefen Fohlenloch, nicht weit von der Kläranlage.

    Abwechslungsreiche Runde, die uns gut gefallen hat. Der Weg durch das Fehlatal zieht sich ein bisschen. Am Ende des Vehringer Felds sind wir der Beschilderung gefolgt, weil der im Track verzeichnete Weg durch den Wald nicht zu finden war. Ändert an der Streckenlänge nicht viel und da die Strecke ein ganzes Stück direkt am Feldrand entlang führt, ist sie auch gut zu laufen.

    Sehr schöne, abwechslungsreiche und kurzweilige Runde. Überhaupt keine Längen und immer wieder tolle neue Eindrücke und kleine Überraschungen entlang des Wegs. Wir sind die Runde in der gleichen Richtung gelaufen, andersrum würde die Grillpause im Fehlatal nach ca. 2/3 der Wegstrecke besser passen aber egal, die Würstle als zweites Frühstück waren trotzdem lecker. Einzig den Motorradlärm aus dem Laucherttal empfanden wir störend, aber das ist halt so bei schönem Wetter

    Landschaftlich schöne Tour. Auch bei Hitze gut zu machen, da viele Strecken im Wald. Parken beim Gasthaus Krone, da hier Anfang und Ende des Rundkurses ist
