    War unsere erste richtige Ebike Tour und hat uns sehr gut gefallen. :) Etwas gefehlt haben uns die Wege durch Wälder oder richtige Schotterwege. Das ist allerdings meckern auf hohem Niveau und die Tour hat uns sehr viel Spaß gemacht.

    Sehr schöne (Herbst-)Wanderung. Sie hat einige Höhenmeter, ist aber technisch einfach und insgesamt gut machbar. Toll sind die Ausblicke, wenn man nach dem Anstieg aus dem Wald (in die Sonne) kommt und am Kojenstein. Ich habe allerdings etwas abgekürzt und bin bis nach dem Campingplatz Hochlitten gefahren. Direkt am Abzweig des Fußwegs ist ein "P"-Schild links am Straßenrand (kurz vor der Marienkapelle). Dadurch habe ich einiges an Weg und Zeit gespart, aber auch die Juppenwerkstatt in Riefensberg verpasst.

    Habe die Runde gerade bei Restschnee aber aufblühenden Krokussen gemacht. War ein Genuss. Anfang April war ich die ersten 10 Kilometer komplett alleine.
