    Sehr schöne Rundwanderung, die allerdings entgegen dem Titel ganz und gar nicht nur im Frühjahr zu empfehlen ist. Wirt sind heute bei doch schon sehr sommerlichen Temperaturen unterwegs gewesen und waren froh, dass doch ein großer Teil des Weges im Wald verläuft - wir werden uns das sogar eher für heisse Sommertage merken.
