"Around Rottenbuch" is a long but very varied route that can also be shortened at any time. The landscape along the way has much to offer: it leads through forests, small gorges, and the viewpoints Mühlegg and Schmauzenberg offer a wonderful mountain panorama. At the end of the route, a visit to the former monastic collegiate church is recommended.   Signposted: No. 95, red

    WOW. Wunderschöne kleine Dörfer, dichter Wald, tolle Ausblicke auf die Berge und auf den Fluss. Die ersten Eindrücke zur Tour könnt ihr hier gewinnen: https://youtu.be/bQIjaZS5SV0 . Parken ist in der Nähe der Schlucht möglich, aber fast überflüssig, die Strecke ist einfach zu schön. Einkehren ist schwierig, also lieber eine Brotzeit einpacken und die Aussicht genießen! :-)

    Sehr schöner, aber echt anspruchsvolle Runde. Nicht zu empfehlen, wenn es ein paar Tage zuvor geregnet hat, da sehr matschig/ rutschig und somit gefährlich ist. Der Trampelpfad ist max. 40cm breit und daneben geht es ordentlich runter.

    Nun ja, "zartbesaitet" wie der Autor schreibt darf man hier wirklich nicht sein. Die Kinder blieben bei der Oma, wir durften ja nicht zur Familie dazu wg. der unglaublich bescheuerten CoronaRegelung 5+1. Das nächstemal kommt die Oma zu uns und dann haben wir 1+5 und dann ist gut. Besser? zum Thema zurück, sorry das musste raus. Im Schatten war es kalt, der Wind bläst durch das Ammertal aber gut, wofür gibt es Kleidung. Rutschig und wahrlich nicht ungefährlich hatten wir wirklich einen Riesenspaß an der Runde. Und wir waren allein, da wagen sich nicht viele her. Auch gut, hat man Ruhe. Da ist der Herbst die bessere Jahreszeit. Wir wollten es so.

    am 08.03.2020 bei bestem Wetter gegangen, einen schöneren Blick auf das Voralpenland und die Berge findet man wohl nicht. Der Weg ist anscheinen neu beschildert, er hat noch die Nummer 93, die Farbmarkierung ist jetzt gelb/weiß.

    Schöne Tour. Man sollte den Abstecher zum Mühlegg unbedingt machen. Von dort hat man eine tolle Sicht. Die Ecke Schmauzenberg haben wir über die Wiese abgekürzt, da man dort für die richtig gute Sicht noch hoch zum Eschenbühl hätte wandern müssen. Diese ist aber nicht Teil des Tracks.
