    Landschaftlich wunderschöner Spaziergang, aber leider alles andere als ein Geheimtipp. Am Wochenende und bei schönem Wetter gibt es hier einen Andrang, dass es nicht mehr schön ist. Also lieber in der Woche oder bei nicht ganz so traumhaften Wetter machen!

    Es ist eine traumhaft schöne Gegend und wir hatten fantastische Lichtstimmungen. Heute war wenig los aber ich kann mir vorstellen, dass dort auch mehr los ist. Der Parkplatz ist kostenpflichtig also Kleingeld mitnehmen. Ich kann die Tour nur empfehlen.
