    Eine lohnenswerte Wanderung auf einfach begehbaren Waldpfaden! Der zauberhafte kleine Letzbergweiher ist aber auf jeden Fall einen Abstecher mit Pause wert. Es sind genug Bänke vorhanden! Anschließend hat man noch einen tollen Ausblick, bevor man wieder in den Wald gelangt und dem urigen Pfad zurück nach Schönau folgt. Mit der Beschreibung des Autors bin ich dann allerdings nicht mehr klargekommen. 🤔 Ich habe mich anhand der Karte orientiert.

    Sehr schöne Tour! Der Winterweg im südöstlichen bis südwestlichen Abschnitt ist nicht immer klar erkennbar. Da dieser Bereich im Naturschutzgebiet liegt, in dem der Urwald gefördert wird, versperren zahlreiche umgestürzte Bäume den Weg. Dennoch bleibt es eine ausgesprochen lohnenswerte und schöne Tour.

    Herrliche Tour, vor allem die Aussicht und der wunderschöne Letzbergweiher. Es ist an manchen Stellen Trittsicherheit empfehlenswert.

    Phantastische Rundum-Aussicht vom Belchen, die Schweizer Alpen über einem Nebelmeer und auch der Mont Blanc war zu sehen. Viel Abwechslung inkl. wunderbarem Schwarzwald. Vorwiegend schöne Wege und Pfade. Tlw. sind aber Wege wie bei der Tour geplant, so nicht mehr möglich, weil gesperrt. Die letzten 2,5 km wieder bergauf auf dem breiten Weg waren nicht so schön.

    Die ersten 4, 5 Kilometer fanden wir etwas monoton, doch dann nahm der Weg "Fahrt" auf: Tolle Blicke vom Belchen-Gipfel, herrliche Pfade... Da hat die Tour auf der zweiten Hälfte die Auszeichnung zum schönsten Wanderweg Deutschlands doch noch gerechtfertigt.

    Sehr schöne, abwechslungsreiche Wanderung, bei der man dem „Verkehr“ auf dem Belchensteig etwas entgehen kann. Der Abstieg nach Schönau „zieht sich“, ist aber sehr empfehlenswert. Sehr gute Busverbindung zurück zum Wiedener Eck. Tipps: Früh losgehen, dann ist auf dem Belchenhaus noch nicht zu viel los. In Schönau unbedingt ein Stück Schwarzwäder Kirsch in der Backerei Gutmann probieren.
