    Diese Ettape des Interregio ist im Gegensatz zu Ettape 1 viel schöner und führt vor allem nicht zu 90% über Asphalt sondern wirklich durch den Wald mit Kies-Sand Boden und ähnlichem. Leider gab es auch hier Sperrungen, die nicht auf der Karte vermerkt waren und der Abschnitt am Strassenrand entlang damit man nach Hertingen rein kommt, ist unfassbar gefährlich da es keinen Gehweg gibt, der Grünstreifen viel zu hoch und dicht gewachsen ist und die Strasse auch noch eine langgezogene Kurve ist. Dafür entschädigt einen die Ortschaft dann mit ihrem Charme & den vielen vielen Brunnen. Mit unter waren die Anstiege wirklich extrem anstrengend vor allem mit Fernwandergepäck. Zudem wurde auf dieser Ettape wohl schon lang keine Wegepflege mehr gemacht denn ein Abschnitt ging an einem aktiven Weidezaun entlang, war aber so überwuchert, dass man Gefahr lief sich in regelmäßigen Abständen Schlägle zu holen. Ich persönlich hab die Ettape dann auch nicht mehr ganz bis Kandern geschafft und musste im Ort vorher spontan übernachten, konnte die Ettape somit erst am nächsten Morgen beenden.

    Sehr schöne Rundtour durch zwei Täler, das Kandertal und das Seitental durch Wollbach nach Nebenau und Egerten Richtung Osten. Am Ende des Wiesentals biegt man ab in den Buchenwald bergan, um oben wieder zurück Richtung Westen zu laufen. Die Krönung ist die Aussicht oberhalb von Wollbach über das südliche Kandertal bis Basel und Jura bis zu den Alpen in der Ferne. Viele Abkürzungen sind machbar...
