    Hinweis: Wer die Beschreibung: "Natürlich findet man entlang der Route auch Wirtshäuser, Restaurants und Biergärten zur gemütlichen Einkehr“ zum Anlass für die Wanderung genommen hat, sollte ggfs. vorab prüfen ob geöffnet ist. Das Grenzhaus öffnet leider erst 17 Uhr (ausser Sonntag da 11 Uhr) und am Nageler See befindet sich ein Kiosk, dessen Öffnungszeiten offensichtlich täglich neu ausgelost werden. Pizzeria in Nagel ist geschlossen für immer. In Reichenbach ist uns durch eine von uns gewählte Wegvariante ein zur Mittagszeit geöffneter Gasthof und ein Café entgangen, worauf uns Michael Feigl hinwies. Ansonsten eine ausgesprochen abwechslungsreiche und sehr schöne Wanderung.

    Durch nen mit Zaun abgesperrten Waldweg am Anfang, ist die Tour jetzt locker 20 km. Aber die teilweise naturbelassenen Pfade sind richtig gut.
