    Wir sind beim Parkplatz bei der großen Kapelle weggegangen, hat auch sehr gut gepasst, Tour ist gut markiert und insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert. Der kurze Abstecher zur Höhle, wenige Hundert Meter vor dem Gipfel ist leider nicht beschriftet, die Höhle ist aber sehr sehenswert!

    Gegangen bei wolkenlosem Himmel und etwa 30 Grad im Schatten. Das war leider definitiv zu heiß, da es weite Strecken bergauf ohne jeglichen Schatten geht. Sonst wunderschöner Weg mit herrlicher Landschaft. Achtung: die .gpx Datei weicht bei km 12 vom markierten Weg ab und verläuft dann etwa 1,5 km auf unmarkierten Wegen bzw. querfeldein bevor sie wieder auf den markierten Weg stößt. Im Zweifel also bei der Abzweigung wo es rechts zum Windpark Vorderplatten geht, links halten und der Markierung (dort ist nur der 06er angeschrieben) folgen.
