    Für einen Spaziergang gut geeignet, allerdings durch Strasse und Bahnlinie mitunter recht laut. Kurze Abschnitte des Weges führen direkt auf der Strasse ohne Gehweg entlang. Beschilderung könnte besser sein, Wegführung durch Baustelle an der Burg zu Beginn etwas irritierend, nach den kleinen, sehr schönen Hängebrücken wäre ein Schild/Wegweiser auch gut. 3 Stempelstellen von touringen waren leicht zu finden. Gastronomie an der Strecke gut vorhanden, Burg Posterstein ebenfalls einen Besuch wert.

    Tour entgegen dem Uhrzeiger gelaufen, dadurch den falsch markierten Stempel- Punkt der "Maiglöckchenbank" erst nicht gefunden. In der Nähe des GPX- Punkt befindet sich zwar eine Bank, in mitten von Maiglöckhen, der Stempel aber, befindet sich in der Schutzhütte, neben der sich auch eine solche Bank befindet. Standort blauer Kreis auf der Linie, Stempelkoordinaten rotes Kreuz.

    Schöne Strecke für Familien. Als Ziel lockt Burg Posterstein, wenn man als Ausgangspunkt den Parkplatz an der 1000-jährigen Eiche in Nöbdenitz wählt. Das Stück Straße kann man umgehen, wenn man auf dem Holzmichelpfad bleibt. Sehr schön.
