    Eine wirklich wunderschöne Tour ohne jeglichen Asphalt(!), die wir bei sommerlichen Temperaturen von 30 Grad unternommen haben. Dank der schattigen Waldabschnitte hat uns die Hitze aber nichts ausgemacht. Die Wanderung ist auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung wert!

    Ja herrlich diese Tour. Wir sind die Runde im Mai gelaufen, allerdings war unser Startpunkt am Gut Stubbe. Der Weg durch den Wald, die Aussicht über die Schlei, die kleinen "Badestellen"... einfach nur toll und sehr empfehlenswert 👍🏻

    Lovely walk, thank you for posting! Divers. The Schlei was beautiful, I took a dip. Some parts were very overgrown. People were there with bikes; not suitable imo. No benches along the walk.

    Traumhaft! Ich habe die Runde stark abgekürzt über den ersten Querweg, weil ich leider nicht viel Zeit hatte. Trotzdem war alles dabei, zauberhafte kleine Sandbuchten und ein wunderschöner mystischer kleiner Wald.

    Tagestipp: Route entgegengesetzt gehen, das Beste kommt zum Schluss. Auch gut im Hochsommer zu gehen. Viel Wald, einige Freiflächen. wunderschön. Warum andersrum: dann kann man schön an der Schlei rasten, mit den Füssen oder ganz ins Wasser in den kleinen Buchten. Schöne Gutshöfe, auch gut mit Hund (an der Leine)

    Tolle Tour. Auf Ostseite geht es auf und ab, auch über Stufen. Für Kinderwagen und Co wird es dort schwieriger.

    Schöne Tour rund um den Idstedter See. Die Ostseite ist sehr schön und ruhig, der Weg verläuft nah am Ufer. Am Südufer läuft man auf einer wenig befahrenen Straße. Dem See kommt man nun nur noch selten nahe. Trotzdem eine schöne Runde, auch mit Kindern (4 & 6) gut zu schaffen. Unterwegs gab es Brombeeren und Himbeeren (August). Auf der Nordseite sind wir durch den netten Ort gegangen. Dort gibt es auch einen guten Spielplatz (Am Sportplatz, über Schulberg zu erreichen) für die Kids mit guten Sitzgelegenheiten für die Eltern.

    Wunderschöner Weg besonders der Abschnitt an der Schlei durch Schilf und Wald. Ein kurzes Wegstück kurz vor Gut Stubbe ist leider zugewachsen und von Brombeer-Ranken durchzogen, so dass dieser (allerdings kurze) Teil beschwerlich ist
