    Schöne Wanderung in Talnähe. Die Burg Reifenstein sollte man unbedingt mit einer Führung besichtigen - sehr lohnend. Kleiner Fehler in der Tourenbeschreibung unter "Anreise": Der Parkplatz ist bei der Burg Reifenstein, nicht bei der Burg Sprechenstein.

    Schöne Wanderung mit herrlicher Aussicht, sind jedoch an der Riedspitze umgekehrt wegen viel Schnee und Verwehungen. Dennoch war es ein lohnender Ausflug

    Wunderschöne Bergtour. Die Tour dauert aber definitiv fast 1 Stunde länger mit Normalkondition. Kurz vor dem vorletzten Gipfel wird die Wegmarkierung kurz schlechter und man biegt leicht falsch ab auf einen Schieferfelsen mit schwierigem Abstieg.
