    Schöne Tour, die gute Kondition erfordert. Es geht zum Teil am Wegrand steil bergab, Höhenangst ist hier nicht dienlich.

    Interessante, gemütliche Tour für die Vorsaison, bevor es wieder "höher" in die Berge geht. Wir haben den einen Abzweiger leicht verpasst und sind darum von der Süd-Ostseite zur hohen Winde gelangt und anschliessend kurz den falschen Weg hinunter (und wieder retour). War nicht weiter tragisch, da die Tour so ein paar Höhenmeter mehr ergab und sie sich um rund 40min verlängerte.

    Tolle Tour! "Urwaldiger" Wald, schöne Blicke in die Landschaft und viele alte Bäume, die so typisch für das Jura sind. Zurück geht es steil bergab durch einen Buchenwald. Super!

    Tolle abwechslungsreiche Wanderung jetzt im Herbst. Der Weg unter den Blättern muss manchmal etwas gesucht werden und wir wichen auf einer Kuhweide noch einem Stier aus.

    Schöne und abwechslungsreiche Tour. Der Gasthof ist ein schöner Pausenort (Do-Sa und Mo ab 10 Uhr). Der Hinweis auf die benötigte Trittsicherheit sollte m.E. ergänzt werden um ein gewisses Mass an Schwindelfreiheit, die am Wasserfall benötigt wird.
