    Die Tour in sich war sehr schön. Leider haben die Koordinaten für den Start der Tour nicht ganz gestimmt und einen Parkplatz haben wir da in der Nähe auch nicht gefunden.

    Eine schöne Runde, die meist im schattigen Wald verläuft. Im Laucherttal gibt es viele Radler.

    Wunderschöne, abwechslungsreiche Wanderung mit vielen Aussichtspunkten und Highlights! Die Mauruskapelle beispielsweise ist so ein Kleinod, das einen kurzen Umweg lohnt. Empfehlenswert ist in Beuron ein kurzer Blick in die Klosterkirche und eine Stärkung im gegenüberliegenden Café Drahtesel, bevor die letzte Steigung zurück zum Rauhen Stein führt.

    Eine landschaftlich sehr schöne Wanderung. Natürlich sind die "Highlights" am Anfang, dennoch sind die nachfolgenden Aussichtspunkte auf das Donautal auch sehr schön. Lediglich gegen Ende wird die Wanderung für ein kurzes Stück auf Forstwegen nicht mehr so überwältigend. Wir sind bei bestem Wetter gewandert und haben dennoch mit sehr vielen Pausen lediglich 4:10 h benötigt. Fazit: Empfehlenswert!

    Es ist eine recht schöne Tour mit Tiefblick, schönem Gewässer, toller Burg. Mehr als die Hälfte leider auf Fahrwegen. Wichtig: Die Tour kann problemlos begangen werden. Die Eisenbahnlinie wird mehrmals gequert. Was immer den Erstkommentator behindert hat, es ist weg.

    Corona Wanderung
    Bei uns war nichts verwildert im Mai. Der 1. Teil am Donauradweg eher langweilig Teer- und Wirtschaftsweg. Danach an der Donau schöne Naturwege am Ufer und auch an Wiesen entlang. Nach 2/3 den Abzweig durch eine Art Naturpergola hätten wir ohne App aber verpasst, der Rest war gut markiert. Insgesamt keine perfekte, aber doch sehr schöner Rundweg. Bedingt barfußtauglich durch viele steinige Wege.
