    Sehr schöne aussichtsreiche Wanderung, auch für Kinder geeignet, unterwegs gibt's allerdings keine Einkehrmöglichkeit, somit ausreichend Proviant und Getränke mitnehmen.

    Schöne Wanderung mit einigen schönen Ausblicken. Der Weg von der Schönkähler Alpe bis zur Börenmoos-Alm ist sehr schön und naturbelassen. Ansonsten ist mir persönlich der Weg zu Forststraßen-Lastig, deshalb ein Stern Abzug.

    Wir fanden den Klettersteig gut und auch für Anfänger geeignet, leider teilweise schon etwas speckig und auch viel begangen. Deshalb muss auch mal mit Stau gerechnet werden.

    Tolle Radrunde, aussichtsreich, Naturerlebnis, Asphalt & Schotter wechseln sich ab. Wir sind sie bei praller Sonne und 30°C gefahren - war trotzdem sehr angenehm, da schattige Wege und meist nah an Wertach und Vils.

    Nette Runde, heute auf Grund des etwas instabilen Wetters auch nicht überlaufen. Auch der Ausblick auf die noch/wieder verschneiten umliegenden Gipfel kann sich sehen lassen. Parkplatz-Parkplatz in 2:10h (ohne Bahn).
