    Ich schließe mich dem Kommentar von Fr. Deinert voll inhaltlich an. Der Weg sollte ein Vorbild für viele andere sein.

    Ich bin den Weg gestern bei Traumwetter gefahren. Eine wunderschöne abwechslungsreiche Route. Traumhafte Landschaft und wunderbare Trails. Ich bin allerdings in Neundorf gestartet und dann von Ahorn Richtung Norden gefahren. Nach einem Besuch der Burgschenke fuhr ich dann durch die Stadt wieder nach Ahorn, habe also (wg. Altenheimbesuch) abgekürzt und nicht alle Trails mitgenommen bzw. den südlichen Teil der Route ausgelassen. Ein paar Wege waren zugewachsen, sodass ich andere Eingänge gesucht habe. Tlw. Bin ich Trails wieder bergauf gefahren, was schon sehr anstrengend war :D Es war eine wunderschöne Tour. Ich habe stolze 58 km und 1200 hm (weil ein paar mal verfahren :D) gemacht. Vielen lieben Dank für diesen Track. Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert!! Ihr habt ein wunderschönes Frankenland, liebe Grüße aus dem Südbayern :)

    Sehr gut ausgeschildert, schöne Aussicht, viel Schatten, Abstecher zum Schloss Ahorn wäre auch schön gewesen, Überquerung der Bundesstraße nicht so toll...

    Vor einigen Jahren wurde der E6 im Wendland großräumig verlegt. Die gezeigte Strecke entspricht daher nicht mehr der Markierung vor Ort. Im Übrigen kann ich den E6 gerade im Wendland wärmstens empfehlen.
