    Schöne Rundtour, immer der gut beschilderten gelben 1 hinterher. Für den Aufstieg sollte man schon etwas Kondition mitbringen, und für ein paar Stellen auf Hörne auch Trittsicherheit. Die auf den Holzschildern beworbene Schlossschenke auf Burg Rothenstein konnten wir leider nicht nutzen, da das Tor zum Gelände zu war (01.10.2025). Wenn man mag kann man ganz am Ende noch in den Biergarten einkehren.

    Wunderschöne Wanderung durch den Wald, fast ausschließlich auf tollen kleinen Pfaden, fernab von Straßen, so richtig tief in der Natur, wo der Bärlauch duftet! Wanderschuhe und Trittsicherheit sind notwendig, Wanderstöcke sind auch sehr empfehlenswert. Bei nasser Witterung sollte man den Teil bei der Hörne nicht begehen. Vor der Schönen Aussicht war heute, am 30.05.25, ein kleines Wegstück gesperrt. Dort muss man dann leider ein kleines Stückchen zurück zum Hauptweg und diesem weiter folgen, parallel zum P4, bis man bei der nächsten Gelegenheit nach rechts doch noch zur Schönen Aussicht kommt und den P4 weiterlaufen kann. Den Weg zur Hörne hätte ich fast verpasst, obwohl der Weg die ganze Zeit über sehr gut ausgeschildert ist. Nur an dieser Stelle muss man etwas aufpassen, da geht es nach rechts ab auf einem kleineren Pfad. Das Schild Richtung "Hörne" hängt auf der anderen Baumseite.

    Eine schöne, aussichtsreiche Tour. Zu bemerken ist, dass einige Passagen, insbesondere die Abstiege ziemlich anspruchsvoll sind. Wir haben die Runde von Bad Sooden aus gemacht, auch sehr schön in der Altstadt die Runde zu beenden.

    Heute mal (wieder) auf dem P4 unterwegs - einer der schönsten der Premiumwege - und bei dem Wetter waren die vielen Aussichten besonders sehenswert. Ich habe diesmal die südliche Runde zur Silberklippe ausgelassen, dafür am Gobert einige Punkte angesteuert. Bei dem vielen Laub muss aber ganz gut auf den Weg achten, außerdem ist einiges zugewachsen. Aber die Beschilderung ist sehr hilfreich dabei.
