    Ich habe nun etwa die Hälfte der Extratouren durch und diese war bislang mit Abstand die beste. Gute Beschilderung, keine Straßenabschnitte, keine zerfahrenen Feldwege, viele Bänke, Aussichtspunkte und Informationstafeln vom Biosphänrereservat. Eine Tour, die ich gerne weiterempfehle und auch mit meinen Gäst*innen wieder laufen würde.

    Auch wenn das Wetter nicht ganz so war wie angekündigt, so hat mir die Extratour Ulmenstein doch überaus gut gefallen. Sie war gut zu gehen, sehr aussichtsreich und die vielen Sitzmöglichkeiten haben ab und an zum längeren Verweilen eingeladen.

    Sehr schöner Weg, auf dem es zeitweise einfach mal still war. Und die Ausblicke sind wunderbar. Der Teil auf dem Kolonnenweg ist nicht immer so einfach zu gehen. Ich würde den Weg insgesamt eher als mittelschwer einstufen, ich bin aber auch eher Wanderanfängerin.

    Schöne Blicke in das Nüsttal, Hünfelder Land und von der Vorderrhön in die Hochrhön. Kurze, leicht begehbare Wanderung. Die zwei hübschen Kapellen und ein sehr schöner Waldabschnitt mit Basaltsee runden die Tour vollends ab. (Winterbilder sind vom 13.02.2021)
