    Angenehme Tour - nicht zu flach, nicht zu steil - für Leute, die nicht den ganzen Tag unterwegs sein wollen - weite Strecken im halbschattigen Wald - prima bei praller Sonne !

    Tolle abwechslungsreiche Runde Tolle Wegführung. Besonders zwischen Mai und September, wenn man auch die Höhlen erkunden kann. Tolle Ausblicke mit Bänkle, beeindruckende Felsen, dazu die Ruine. Sehr viele Highlights auf wenig Strecke. Leichte Wanderung, aber nicht barrierefrei. Trittfest sollte man sein. Leider war eine Einkehr in der Waldhütte nicht möglich, wegen Urlaub.

    Zu Beginn geht es eine längere Passage - an einem glasklaren Bach entlang - bergauf. Ansonsten kann man auf den überwiegend breiten, gepflegten, wunderschönen Wanderwegen sehr entspannt gehen. Es gibt viele Sitzgelegenheiten. Man hat immer wieder Blick auf den Rosenstein und vor allem am Pfaffensturz einen tollen Ausblick. Gegen Ende musste ich ein Parallelweg (s. Foto) nehmen, da der eigentliche Weg über hohes Gras führte, was aber nicht schlimm war, da die Alternative wahrscheinlich eine schönere Weitsicht bot. Die Marienkapelle habe ich ausgespart, da der Pfad dorthin ziemlich verwildert war. Habe 2 h 15 Min. gebraucht.

    Schöne Tour. Vorsicht, kann aufgrund der Witterung/Radfahrer teilweise matschig/rutschig sein. Rund um die Ruine und den Rosenstein gibt es wahnsinnig viele Wege. Dort unbedingt an die vorgesehene O-Runde halten, sie bietet einige wirklich schöne Aussichtspunkte. Die Gegend ist am Wochenende/Feiertag stark frequentiert, an diesen Tagen kann man auch an der Waldschenke einkehren. Die Route führt an einigen Kinderspiel- und Rastplätzen vorbei. Da ich keine Pause einlegen und den Ansturm meiden wollte bin ich früh los und die Strecke in umgekehrter Richtung, d.h. zuerst über den Rosenstein, gelaufen. Habe 2 h 50 min gebraucht.

    Schöne Tour. Abwechslungsreiche Strecke, Trittsicherheit und festes Schuhwerk nötig. Bin die Strecke in umgekehrter Richtung gelaufen, was ich wieder tun würde, und habe (ohne längere Pause) 2 h 10 min gebraucht. Zu Beginn geht es daher lange aufwärts. Mobiles Netz war durchgängig gegeben. Dadurch, dass die Route über viele offizielle ausgeschilderte Wanderwege führt, kann man sich zusätzlich sehr gut orientieren. Am Bargauer Kreuz gibt’s nichts zu sehen. Der Hohe Felsen und der mit 709m eingezeichnete Aussichtspunkt bieten aber eine schöne Aussicht.

    Ich habe in Heubach geparkt und bin nur bis Essingen und dann nach eigenem Ermessen zurück nach Lautern. Das war eine schöne Runde. Aber ich finde es auch sehr einfallslos von Essingen die Leute entlang der Landstraße nach Mögglingen zu schicken. Dann doch lieber auf Feldwegen nach Lautern und mit dem Bus weiter nach Heubach

    Sehr schöne und abwechslungsreiche sowie RUHIGE Etappe. Kein Vergleich zu der missratenen Etappe 4 neben der B29! Tolle Pflanzenwelt und schöne Aussicht auf die Kaiserberge, das Remstal und den Rosenstein.
