Es war wieder ein tolles Erlebnis. Von der Organisation über den Ablauf, die Streckenmarkierung (die reflektierenden Bänder sind viel besser als die bisherigen Streifen) bis zu den Verpflegungsstellen
war alles top. 24 Stunden nur nette Menschen auf und neben der Strecke.
Ich will mir gar nicht ausmalen, was da an Arbeit drinsteckt. Vielen Dank an alle für alles 🙏🙏
Wunderbares Wetter und Wochenende, daher war es ungewohnt "voll" auf dem in der Vorwoche fast menschenleeren Urwaldsteig. (Ganze 12 Menschen in 2 Stunden :-) ) Kleine Anregung: Vielleicht könnte man auf der Aussichtsstelle mit dem Blick auf Scheid vor der hohen Bank noch einen Stamm o.ä. zum Füße abstützen anbringen. Durch die Neigung der Sitzfläche flutscht man sonst immer beinahe herunter. Ansonsten, wie auch der Rest des Urwaldsteigs, eine herrliche Etappe.
Wunderbare Strecke. Unbedingt den ausgeschilderten Abstecher zur Aussicht machen. Wenn man auf diesem Weg dann weitergeht, läuft der Pfad kurze Zeit parallel oberhalb der Urwaldsteigs und stößt dann aber wieder darauf, so dass man nicht umbedingt vom Aussichtspunkt zur Route zurück laufen muss.
Die Kahle Hardt Runde zur schönen Aussicht ist sehr zu empfehlen
Jetzt im Winter hat man sehr gute Sicht auf die Steilhänge mit den knorrigen Bäumen und auf den See
