    Prachtige wandeling met een paar mooie smalle en steile paadjes erin. Hond en kindvriendelijk zou ik de wandeling niet direct noemen. Daarvoor zijn de steile gedeeltes wat te pittig denk ik.

    Schöne Tour. Der Weg im Bereich der Biathlon Arena war gesperrt. Man muss die Route hier leicht ändern.

    Sehr schöne Rundtour! Am besten die Tour bei der Graf Stollberg Hütte beginnen (Parkplätze in der Nähe vorhanden) und zum Abschluß dort noch einkehren. Sehr gemütliche Hütte!

    Ganz ganz herzlichen Dank an den Routen Ersteller. Die Tour war einfach perfekt! Wir hatten einen wundervollen Tag und konnten gar nicht genug bekommen. Hinter jeder Kurve eine neue Szenerie. Super ausgeglichenes Höhenprofil. Jeder km ist nur so verflogen. Die Strecke war so unglaublich vielfältig. Einfach traumhaft! Einer der Tage, die man gerne nochmal zum ersten Mal erleben möchte :) Der Weg wird schwierig zu toppen...

    Schöne Tour, nur als leicht würde ich sie nicht bezeichnen. Der steile Anstieg kurz vorm Ziel via Kette am Berg ist nicht für Jedermann. Unsere Fitness ist ganz gut, aber die letzte Etappe war sehr anspruchsvoll. Wer den steilen Hang hoch will, sollte Schuhe mit gutem Grip haben. Es besteht sonst die Möglichkeit weg zurutschen.

    Mooie wandeling over (meestal) brede paden. Helaas was er geen horeca onderweg (1 alleen op zondag open en andere voorgoed gesloten)

    viele Abschnitte mit breiten (langweiligen) Forstwegen, aber dafür entschädigen die Highlights wie Diemel Quelle, NSG Breiter Hagen, Clemensberg, etc. Außerdem sind kaum große Steigungen vorhanden.
