    Zuerst die neue Hängebrücke hin und zurück begangen. Sehr schönes Erlebnis. Gut gelungenes Bauwerk. Anschließend diese kleine Rund gemacht. Interessante Wegführung, unterwegs Tafeln mit Bildern von früher, dann blick auf RW. Die Tour hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Wenn es auch sehr schwül war.

    nette, kurze, leichte und ordentlich beschilderte Halbtagestour. Nichts Spektakuläres aber dennoch zwei, drei kleinere Highlights - z.B. die Kapelle, die (eher ungewöhnliche) Sicht auf die Schwäbische Alb oder die Ruine Herrenzimmern. Ach ja - ein großes Highlight gibt es auch: Die Einkehr in der "Sonne" in Herrenzimmern mit eigener angeschlossener Hausbrauerei! Tipp: Wer die Tour am Sportgelände in Villigendorf beginnt und mit dem Uhrzeigersinn läuft hat dieses Highlight 2 km vor dem Ende und somit am idealen Platz.

    Das war eine super schöne Tour die uns begeistert hat. Viele schöne Pfade, kaum Wirtschaftswege und ganz wenig Asphalt, das war ganz nach unserem Geschmack. Unterwegs gab es viel zu sehen, eine tolle Landschaft und natürlich als Höhepunkt: die Pfade entlang der Eschach, einfach nur traumhaft. Schade dass das Bettlinsbad erst ab Freitag geöffnet hat, aber es gab immerhin einen Hofautomat. Für uns war das die schönste Wanderung dieses Jahr, dafür bedanken wir uns.

    schöne, unspektakuläre Runde. Autobahnlärm muss man eine Zeitlang ertragen. Wildensteiner Hofladen: Einkauf empfohlen. Wilde Abschnitte an der Eschach mit umgestürzten Bäumen.

    Sehr schöne Rundtour mit tollen Aussichten! Ein Hinweis an dieser Stelle, dass man durch den Necker waten muss, daher nur im Sommer empfehlenswert.

    Sehr schöne Runde auf überwiegend schmalen Pfaden, die aber nach Regen vielleicht rutschig sind. Hat uns insgesamt sehr gut gefallen. Einzig den Start würden wir an einen der Wanderparkplätze direkt an der Runde verlegen, denn das steile Schlussstück fanden wir ähm… suboptimal. Zum Glück gab es dort Himmelsliegen zum Regenerieren :-) Entlang der vielen schmalen Pfade waren Bänke sonst eher Mangelware.

    Bei traumhaften Wetter in Rottweil gestartet, nach Ende der Tour noch die Altstadt erkundet. Definitiv zu empfehlen! Sehr vielfältige Route mit wechselnder Flora & Fauna. Kleine Trampelpfade, Schotterwege durch den Wald und geteerte Straßen neben Blumenwiesen! Die Aussicht nach dem ersten Aufstieg war auf jeden Fall ein Highlight!
