    Ich bin diese Tour 2025 bereits gewandert und hatte damals schon Michael Lindner gebeten, seine Bewertung zu korrigieren, da sie, wie er schrieb, zu einem anderen Trail gehört; nicht zu dieser Tour! Also: @Michael Lindner: bitte die falsche Bewertung (mit einem Stern) richtig beurteilen/bewerten oder, wenn sie beim falschen Trail ist, dann bitte endlich hier löschen!! Es gibt andere Wanderer, die Interesse an der Tour zeigen, diese Bewertung nicht verstehen und sich evtl. dadurch abhalten lassen, diese doch empfehlenswerte schöne Tour zu gehen!!

    Wundervolle Radrunde im Grenzgebiet Deutschland-Frankreich! Heute bei bestem Wetter im Gegenuhrzeigersinn vom Imsbacher Hof aus gemacht. Insbesondere der Radweg nach Bitche ist genial. Habe dann die kleine Abkürzung nach Ludwigswinkel genutzt, und war nach 2,5h wieder am Ausgangspunkt.

    Radweg ist top ausgebaut, führt durch Wälder und über Wiesen. Sehr idyllisch. Hügeliges Terrain, teils knackig bergauf, aber immer nur kurze Abschnitte mit unmittelbarer Abfahrt. Eintritt Citadelle Bitche 10,- EUR, haben wir drauf verzichtet, ist auch von außen sehr beeindruckend.
