    Die Tour kombiniert große Teile des Stollenwegs mit einer Besteigung des Hohen Peißenbergs. Der Aufstieg entlang des Sulzerbachs und die Rückkehr durch den Wald entlang der ehemaligen Seilbahntrasse sind landschaftlich sehr schön und ruhig. Lediglich die Wirtschaftswiesen auf dem Bergplateau sind etwas eintönig und wenig abwechslungsreich. Dafür entschädigt das fantastische Alpenpanorama vom Gipfel.

    Überwiegend schöner, einfacher Wanderweg. Leider ist die Passage entlang der B472 eine Durststrecke - Ohren zu und durch! Parkplätze sind inzwischen genügend in Kreilhof vorhanden!

    Diese kleine Runde stand lange schon auf dem Programm. Heute bei wechselhafter Witterung angegangen. Der Weg zum Wasserfall war extrem rutschig und schlammig was aber nach den Regenfällen der letzten Tage zu erwarten war. Somit kein Problem da wir dafür gerüstet waren. Besonders gut hat uns der Abschnitt nach dem Wasserfall gefallen. Ein schattiger Weg zwischen unglaublich hohen und schönen Buchen. Ab dem Weiler Buchen wird es etwas langweilig da bis zur Ammer auf der Teerstrasse gelaufen werden muss. Hatte allerdings kaum Verkehr somit war es erträglich. Der Rückweg an der Ammer hat dann wieder gepasst mit vielen Stellen zum Füße kühlen für die Kinder. Die nicht ausreichende Beschilderung eines anderen Rezendenten kann ich nicht nachvollziehen. Wer damit nicht klarkommt sollte auf den üblichen Wanderautobahnen bleiben.

    Ein Wunderschöner, abwechslungsreicher Weg. Es geht durch Wälder, an der Ammer entlang, immer wieder über große, herrliche Wiesen und belohnt wird man mit herrlichen Ausblicken auf die Berge und Weitblicken über die wunderschöne Landschaft. Möchte ich auf jeden Fall nochmal machen.

    Steil hinauf und steil hinunter ... Die Beschilderung ist teilweise ungünstig angebracht, sodass man leicht den falschen Weg einschlägt. Im Herbst an vielen Stellen matschig und rutschig, aber sicher eine schöne Tour für den Sommer.

    Schöner, abwechslungsreicher Rundweg, in knapp zwei Stunden machbar. Am Anfang ist der Anstieg bei feuchtem Wetter ziemlich rutschig, festes Schuhwerk erforderlich. Die Beschilderung sowie die Beschreibung sind leider nicht ausreichend. Dank outdooractive-App aber kein Problem ;) Durch den Ausbau der B472 geht man davor den Feldweg links, kommt aber nach ein paar Minuten wieder auf die ursprüngliche Route (kann man nicht verfehlen).
