    Eine herrliche Strecke mit hohem Anteil an Wurzelpfaden entlang wildromantischer Bäche. Einzig im Mittelteil gibt es kurz etwas breitere Wege, doch dann taucht man wieder in den Wald ein.

    Im Wesertal sehr schöner Pfad. Tlw. sind Weg, Wurzeln, Steine und Matsch dzt. unter dem herabgefallenen Laub schwer erkennbar. Rückweg leider viel Asphalt, aber trotzdem schön.

    Hunde erlaubt 🐕✅️ Zu keiner Zeit, betritt man Gebiete des Nationalparks/Naturparks, in dem Hunde verboten sind. Läuft man im Uhrzeigersinn, ist man die erste Hälfte auf dem Eifelsteig unterwegs. Breite Wege, Asphalt + Schotter, gut ausgeschildert, tolle Landschaft. Nach dem Weg am Rande des Naturparks gehts zurück Richtung Start auf nahezu ausschließlich Pfaden, teilw. nur so breit, dass die Heidelbeeren links und rechts am Hosenbein streifen.

    Eine naturnahe,ruhige Wanderung! Überwiegend naturbelassene Wege und Pfade und eine fast unberührte Natur machen diese Wanderung zu einem Erlebnis. Trotz der Knotenpunktführung ist unbedingt auch die Karte aus der App zur Orientierung mit einzubeziehen,da an einigen neuralgischen Punkten Hinweisschilder zum Knotenpunkt und zur Richtung fehlen. Die Tour ist trotzdem unbedingt sehr zu empfehlen.

    Die Wälder, Flüsse und Landschaften auf der Tour sind wirklich ein Träumchen, es macht einfach nur glücklich, dort zu sein. Hatte lange nicht mehr so herrliche Natur-Atmosphäre erlebt. Und im Vergleich zu Rhein und Sieg hat man hier viel Ruhe und Alleinsein. Sperrung: Auf dem Rückweg musste man am Steinbach leider den Weg auf der anderen Flussseite nehmen, aufgrund von Erdrutsch.
