    Die Tour ist landschaftlich sehr schön. Es waren nur wenige Leute unterwegs, am Bärofen waren wir alleine. Die Aussichtsplattform am Hochmoor ist baufällig. Im feuchten Sommer 2020 ist der Boden in der Nähe des Hochmoors sumpfig. Wir bekamen in nicht wasserdichten Schuhen feuchte Füsse. Am langen Forstweg auf der Nordseite des Bärofens ist auf 1590 m Höhe eine Diensthütte mit Brunnen.

    Tolle Landschaft und wunderbar zum Wandern. Leider gab es leichten Regen und daher haben wir nicht laufend auf das Smartphone geschaut und uns daher 3-4 Mal vergangen. Man muss schon verdammt aufpassen, dass man nicht vom richtigen Weg abkommt. Den Markierungen zu folgen ist jedenfalls nicht ratsam. Aber wie gesagt, die Landschaft ist traumhaft!
