    Entspannte, ruhige kleine Runde. Auf der Seeseite kann man auch schwimmen gehen… Wenn man in den Wald eintaucht ist es sehr ruhig, nur noch das zwitschern der Vögel und die Geräusche der eigenen Schritte. Im Badehaus Goor gibt es ab 13 Uhr auf der Terrasse Kaffe und Kuchen und sicherlich auch Mittagstisch.

    Eine überschaubare, sehr interessante Tour, die sich gemütlich laufen lässt. Dabei ist man tatsächlich sehr beschäftigt alles rundum anzuschauen und zu entdecken. Dazu noch sonniges Herbstwetter, perfekt.

    Sehr schöne Wanderung mit abwechslungsreichen Abschnitten. Nur der Start, direkt hinter dem Stadtpark, wurde durch die Stürme der vergangenen Wochen etwas unzugänglich. Es lagen viele große Bäume quer.

    Es hat sich gelohnt, im Hotel Badehaus an der Rezeption die Broschüre zu dem Pfad zu erwerben. Ich habe tatsächlich noch nie so lange für eine so kurze Strecke gebraucht :-) Hier gilt es, den Wald zu entdecken, und nicht, wie für mich eigentlich üblich, zügig eine lange Strecke zu erwandern. Unter https://www.natur-beruehrt.de findet man auch noch ein paar weitere Infos zum Pfad.

    Kurze Rundwanderung mit Blick auf die Ostsee, die kleine Insel Vilm und eine uralte, eindrucksvolle Eiche. Bietet sich an, wenn man ohnehin in der Nähe ist, ist sonst aber nichts außergewöhnliches und eine (lange) Anfahrt wert.
