    Super Tour. Aktuell (06/2021) durch umgestürzte Bäume allerdings nicht im Niveau leicht. Hin und wieder sind minimal ausgesetzt Stellen zumindest für kleine Kinder etwas gefährlich. Bei feuchter Witterung Rutsch Gefahr. Im sommerlichen Wetter aber super, da der Weg fast ausschließlich als schmaler Pfad entlang des Flusses führt. Mal hoch mal runter mit Treppen, über Felsen durch dschungelähnlichen Wald. Erlebnistour! Super tournée. Actuellement (06/2021), cependant, par les arbres tombés, pas facilement dans le niveau. De temps en temps, les endroits exposés au moins sont un peu dangereux pour les jeunes enfants. En cas de conditions météorologiques humides, le danger de glissement. Par temps estival, mais super, car le sentier est presque exclusivement comme un chemin étroit le long de la rivière. Parfois, en haut, avec des escaliers, sur des rochers à travers une forêt semblable à une jungle. Tour d’expérience !

    Die Tour ist wirlich sehr schön und abwechslungsreich. Die Aussichten auf die beiden Schlösser wunderschön und auch die Panoramablicke ins Tal, die immer mal wieder auf der Strecke sind, sind sehenswert. Jetzt zu der Jahreszeit ist es natürlich zum Teil schon sehr matschig, wasserfeste Schuhe sind da ein Muss. Trittfestigkeit sollte man auch mitbringen, da es zum Teil schon gut bergauf und berab geht und manche Wege auch etwas felsig sind. Wir haben für die Strecke 4 Stunden gebraucht, die Schwierigkeit mittel ist angemessen.

    eine sehr schöne Tour. Weniger empfehlenswert, wenn es vorher öfters geregnet hat, da die meisten Wege vermatscht oder beinahe überschwemmt sind. Ausserdem waren beide Verpflegungstipps geschlossen...
