Bei dieser Rundwanderung ist die Begegnung mit dem Mittelalter an mehreren Punkten besonders gut spürbar (Burgenbau, Ruinen, Kirchen, Stadtgraben) - besonders Erlebnisreich ist der Übergang vom langen Wandern in der Stille (also in den Wäldern und an den 2 Teichen) in das plötzliche Eintreten in die Welt der Burgen, beginnend mit der Geyersburg!
