    Vielen Dank für das Anlegen dieser kleinen Runde hier in OA!! Wir haben schon einige Wanderungen aus den drei Büchern der beiden Autoren ausprobiert. Diese hier hat uns an vielen Stellen total positiv überrascht und von Anfang bis Ende unheimlich gut gefallen. Ein Genuss!!

    Sehr schöne Tour und wirklich eine Reise durch die Kulturgeschichte (Kelten, Römer, Mittelalter…). Im Hochsommer vielleicht schwierig, weil Null Schattenpassagen, jetzt aber eine reine Wonne, das „Tintenfass der Wetterau“ immer im Blick.

    Eine sehr nette Tour vor allem auf Feld- und Waldwegen mit ein paar Ausblicken. Nach Röthges geht es auf Asphalt weiter, aber immer noch gut zu gehen. Habe ziemlich genau 2,5 Stunden gebraucht.

    Gut ausgeschildert, abwechslungsreich und informativ. Im Frühjahr für Vogelbeobachtung genial. Bei Hitze das erste Teilstück aber sicher nicht empfehlenswert. Ich würde den Weg das nächste Mal anders herum ausprobieren, hat dann sicher auch schöne Aussichten.

    Tolle Wanderung, sehr zu empfehlen. Bei Traumwettet vorbei ein idyllischen Orten und schönen Aussichtspunkten. Klasse! Lediglich eine Stelle ist nmzur Zeit (05.05.2020) schwer passierbar, da dort eine riesen Baustelle existiert und man sich zwischen zwei Zäunenhi durchquetschen muss.

    Schöne, informative und gut beschilderte Rundwanderung auf den Spuren der Römer und des Mittelalters. Insgesamt sehr gute Wege - lediglich das Stück durch Muschenheim hat mir nicht gefallen. Das hätte man auch außen herum führen können. Dafür zwischen Limesturm und der Kirche traumhaft schön! Habe bei mittlerem Tempo mit ein paar Fotopausen 2,5 Stunden gebraucht.
