    Sichere Wege - leider viel Waldautobahn, aber im Nürnberger Umland gibt es wenig Alternativen. Mit ein paar kleinen Hacken entlang der Runde bekommt man noch viele sehenswerte Punkt.

    Sehr schöne und leichte Tour mit sehr wenig Steigung. Ab der Hälfte sollte man tatsächlich etwas variieren, wobei die Möglichkeiten bei Kalchreuth zahlreich und leicht zu erreichen sind. Ganz klar eine einfache Waldwanderung, aber eine recht schöne.
