The calorie trail leads once around the Breitenbachtalsperre, but without following the asphalted shore path longer than necessary. Instead, there are fantastic forest passages, wonderful peace, beautiful views, and ten exciting adventure stations that make this route a real "hiking highlight".

    Großartige Strecke. Beste Wege, starke Aussichten, wenig Asphalt. Bestimmt auch bei Regen schön. Wir hatten nur Sonne. Höhenmeter waren aber über 500. vielleicht verlaufen.

    Leuke tocht, goed te doen. Routebordjes hier en daar wat lastig te vinden en/of te duiden. Dus goed opletten. Een bepaald gedeelte was op dit moment echt onbegaanbaar. Maar we konden een stukje omlopen en verderop de route weer oppikken. Toch was dat wel jammer. Maar de route is wel zeker de moeite waard. Te meer omdat je halverwege een geweldig leuke herberg vindt bij de ruïne van Ginsburg, alwaar je even lekker kunt genieten van iets lekkers en een drankje.

    Ideal zum Joggen oder Walken, wenn es auf Waldwegen zu matschig ist. Natürlich auch ideal zum Spazierengehen für Jung und Alt.

    Eigentliche eine wunderschöne Tour, allerdings hat der Harvester saubere Arbeit geleistet. Im Wald sind die Wege so zerstört, dass man ohne Schlammpackung nicht zur Quelle kommt. Sehr schade, denn die Tour ist wirklich sehr schön! Daher 1 Stern Abzug!
