    Sehr schöner, angenehm zu gehender Weg und abwechslungsreiche Umgebung. Leider nur 1 Hinweisschild. Dennoch recht leicht zu finden. Wir hatten einen Welpen und eine Hundeseniorin dabei, perfekte Länge mit wenig Steigung.

    Eine wunderschöne Tour: Erst der knackige Anstieg, dann das wildromantische Tal bis man dann schließlich die Seen erreicht. Der Abstieg ist dann steil, aber machbar.

    The nature reserve is nice. The Murg lake was full of algae. Someone from our group swam and afterwards got a severe ear infection.

    Wunderschöne Wanderung. Mittel anspruchsvoll. Wir haben die Tour umgekehrt gemacht. So gehts nicht in einem Stück so steil hoch sondern man hat zwei etwas steilere Stücke (am Anfang und Ende) des Aufstiegs und ansonsten gehts geradeaus oder nur moderat bergauf. Wir waren an einem Sonntag dort und würden die Startzeit vor 9 Uhr empfehlen da man den Weg sonst doch mit einigen anderen Wanderer teilen wird.
