    Sehr schöne und ausgiebige Wanderung mit kleinen Klettereinlagen. Etwas Ausdauer und Trittsicherheit sollten vorhanden sein. Auch hier kann man öfter die Route verlassen um schöne Aussichten genießen zu können.

    Sehr schöne und abwechslungsreiche Tour mit tollen Ausblicken. Etwas fordernd und sollte mit Bedacht und etwas Training angegangen werden. Wer nicht ganz so fit ist, sollte langsam gehen und mehr Pausen einplanen. Wir sind einige Male von der Route abgewichen um die schönen Ausblicke zu genießen die hier nicht enthalten sind. Insbesondere auch das Gipfelkreuz beim Aufstieg zur Burg Randeck. Entspannt geht es zurück zum Ausgangspunkt und in Altessing im Brauereigasthof kann man einkehren. Auf dem Rückweg kann man auch Honig der kleinen Imkereien erwerben. Am besten mit Paypal zahlen. Barzahlung ist aber auch möglich. Wer hier stiehlt ist allerdings ein wahrer Schuft. Eine sehr schöne Tour war es wieder.

    Wunderschöne Wanderstrecke! Es geht sehr viel durch Wald, also perfekt an warmen Tagen. Auch die Aussichtspunkte sind sehr zu empfehlen. Habe die Strecke am Nachmittag gemacht, zu dieser Zeit waren sonst fast keine anderen Menschen auf der Strecke unterwegs. Werde die Strecke bestimmt nochmal wandern wenn die Burg auch offen hat.

    Schöne Nachmittagsrunde entlang der Altmühl und steil hoch zur Burg. Nach der Besichtigung der Burg entspannt runter und kurz vor dem Schluß noch ein kleiner Anstieg. Hat Spaß gemacht.

    Sehr empfehlenswert mit schönen Ausblicken. Die Höhlen sind sehr interessant und etwas besonderes. Vorsicht bei feuchtem Wetter - dann kann es rutschig sein.
