    Heute die Runde bei herrlichstem Herbstwetter gelaufen. Dienstags Morgens? Natürlich komplett allein im Wald. Sehr abwechslungsreich und nicht anspruchsvoll zu laufen. Tolle Fernblicke ins Sauerland. Top und bestimmt zu einer anderen Jahreszeit noch einmal.

    Eine schöne abwechslungsreiche Runde mit mal befestigten Wegen und mal schmalen Pfaden. Bei Nässe teils schlammige Wege und durch manchmal höheres Gras mit der Gefahr nasser Füße. Tolle Ausblicke und schöne Landschaften! Der Küppelturm zum Ende als Highlight.

    eine schöne abwechslungsreiche Runde, teilweise war der Weg anhand des GPS nicht klar. Hätte ich die Beschreibung auf der verlinkten Website gelesen wäre es wohl klarer gewesen.
