This tour is particularly suitable for families with children as it is relatively flat and offers many places to rest along the way.

    Wir sind diesen Rundweg am 06.10.2026 bei schönstem Kaiserwetter bei 22°C gegangen. Der Weg ist schon sehr anspruchsvoll und zwingend ist hier auch eine gute Wanderausrüstung notwendig. Hilfreich ist auch eine Axt oder noch besser eine Kettensäge, denn zum Teil war der Weg durch umgefallene Bäume blockiert. Aber die Aussicht auf dem Windberg entschädigt all die Strapazen.

    Eine sehr schöne Runde! Aber auf alle Fälle unter 12 Stunden machbar. 😊 Die Strecke ist richtig schön und hat einiges zu bieten. Vielerlei Wege sind zu bewältigen aber mit einen festen Schuh zu 100% machbar. Schöne Aussichten garantiert! Jedes Mal wieder, das einzige was ich getan habe, bin von Hohenfelden los - damit ich in Ef (Km 27) eine kurze Rast machen kann, da ein Netto genau auf der Strecke vorhanden ist. 👍🏻
