    Wunderschöne 1.-Mai-Wanderung über Felsenpfad rauf zum Höfle. Die vorgegebene Strecke führt teilweise nicht direkt über den Felsenpfad, sondern über einen parallel verlaufenden Waldweg. Deshalb der Beschilderung "Felsenpfad" folgen bis rechts ab der Wegweiser zum Höfle zeigt und man wieder auf der Route ist.

    Der Felsenpfad ist klein aber fein. Leider war er offiziell gesperrt. Leider ist der eine km an Strasse auf der Retoure kein wirkliches Vergnügen, wird aber durch einen Abstecher im Gasthaus Hammerschmiede mehr als entschädigt. Ein absolutes Muss am Ende der Tour.

    Schöne und abwechslungsreiche Tour, vor allem im Sommer toll, weil viel im Wald gelaufen wird. Sehr verwirrend ist der meiner Ansicht nach falsche Schwierigkeitsgrad "schwer". Das passt nicht, die Tour ist maximal zwischen leicht und mittel. Die Abstiege sind sehr moderat und auch der Aufstieg am Ende der Tour sehr gut, meiner Ansicht nach auch mit Kindern zu machen. Vor allem, weil am Schluss nach dem Aufstieg ein Spielplatz kommt. Wir hätten wegen dem falschen Schwierigkeitsgrad die Tour fast nicht gemacht. Einziges Manko ist ein kurzes Stück vor dem Aufstieg zum Rückhaltebecken Bleichtal. Da führte der Weg laut Beschreibung rechts vom Bach durch brusthohes Gras - ein Zeckeneldorado. Besser links über den Bach und die ca. 200m Teerstraße hoch bis zur Deichkrone und ab da wieder auf dem beschriebenen Weg.

    Tolle 180° Aussichtsmöglichkeiten über die Rheinebene: Freiburg, Kaiserstuhl, Vogesen. Sehr abwechslungsreich geht es durch Reben und Wald. Es gibt verschiedene Abkürzungsmöglichkeiten die auch ausgeschildert sind. Am Startpunkt in Malterdingen gibt es Flyer mit einer kleinen Übersichtskarten. Die Tour eignet sich besonders bei guter Fernsicht und führt anfangs durch die Rebberge (evtl. viel Sonne), später durch schatten spendenden Wald. Die Aussichten sind beeindruckend.
