    Heute bin ich die Tour gelaufen. Jedoch andersrum als vorgeschlagen, so dass das Highlight - der Brandeckturm erst in der 2. Hälfte der Tour kommt. Man hat tolle Aussichten, knackige Anstiege, schöne Pfade und auch mal Forstwege zum erholen und plaudern. Danke an den Schwarzwaldverein Dubach für den Wandervorschlag.

    Die Route verlangt Aufmerksamkeit, denn sie ist nicht als eigener Rundweg beschildert. Es lohnt sich aber sehr, abseits der (oft vielbefahrenen) Schotterwege, auf Pfaden die Natur zu erleben. Stöcke und feste Schuhe sind sehr hilfreich. Vielen Dank für die Ausarbeitung.

    Nicht separat beschildert; mit der Beschreibung kam ich gut zurecht. Die Highlights Hohes Horn und das wahrlich imposante Schloss Ortenberg werden auch über den beschilderten Ortenauer Sagenrundweg "Brandeck" erreicht.

    Une rando avec une première moitié bien cardio ! Mais on sait pourquoi on fait l'effort une fois arrivé en haut ! La vue de la tour est splendide, on en a pris plein les yeux au-dessus de la mer de brouillard et de nuages. À découvrir !

    Hallo Norbert, danke für die Planung. Wir sind heute bei schönstem Frühlingswetter die Tour von Ebersweier aus andersherum und mit einem Abstecher über das Plauenrainler Köpfle gewandert. Dazu gab es am Schluss eine Rucksackjause mit Ausblick über die ganze Rheinebene, über Straßburg hinaus bis in die Vogesen. Herrlich!

    Wirklich schöne Tour auf kleinen Pfaden und naturnahen Wegen. Nur die letzten Meter zum Brandeckturm und die letzten beiden Kilometer zur Wolfsgrube auf den ungeliebten breiten Forstwegen. Mit Hexenstein, Bühlstein, Hohen Horn, Brandeckturm, Durbach Weitblick und schließlich der Wolfsgrube interessante Stationen zum Erkunden. Tour auch im Hochsommer in den kühlen Morgenstunden empfehlenswert. 4 Sterne.

    Mal wieder eine Wanderfextour die hält, was sie verspricht. Danke Günther. Intakte Natur, Ruhe und ein toller Biergarten mit Spielplatz am Schützenhaus. Herrliche Aussicht am Durbacher Weitblick. Hütte mit viel Liebe errichtet und gepflegt. Vielen Dank Familie Wörner. Nächstes Highlight: Die tolle Himmelsschaukel.

    Super abwechslungsreich: Stadt, Weinberge, Wald, Steine, Bäche! Trittsicherheit ist wichtig und die Abzweigung nach Riedle war ziemlich zugewachsen.
