    Einfache Tour ohne Schwierigkeiten für fast alle Wanderer. Aussichtswarte bietet bei guter Sicht schöne Blicke nach Tschechien und zu den Windrädern vom nahen Windpark.

    Ein sehr schöne Etappe! (Wenn man mal der Start bergauf auf Asphalt außer acht lässt.) Wunderschöne Waldpassagen, einladende Helfenbergerhütte, motivierender "Halber Weg" Stein, andächtiges Denkmal "Eiserner Vorhang", beeindruckender Windradpark, aussichtsreiche Sternsteinwarte und historischer Ortskern Bad Leonfelden. (Hinweis: Ab der Waldschänke am Sternstein stimmen die GPS Daten bis kurz vor Bad Leonfelden nicht überein. Vom Ersteller wurde vermutlich ein Wegweiser übersehen und er ist der Straße entlang. Ist aber nicht weiter tragisch...)

    Sehr schöne, gemütliche Wanderung. In Prospekten und auf den unterschiedlichen Wanderkarten der Region wird diese Tour gerne in die entgegengesetzte Richtung beschrieben. Ich würde aber auf jeden Fall empfehlen die hier angegebene Richtung (zuerst Sternstein, dann Schwedenschanze) zu nehmen, da der erste Teil sonst recht langwierig wird (es geht sehr lange nur leicht bergauf). Die Einkehr in der Jausenstation Schanzstüberl kann ich sehr empfehlen.
