    Habe diese Wanderung vor einem Jahr mit meiner Freundin gemacht. Ist absolut flach und hat nicht eine nennenswerte Steigung. Ist auch eine geschichtsträchtige Wanderung und stimmte zum nachdenken. Man soll bedenken, daß hier früher eine ganz andere Landschaft war, weil früher waren hier Orte die jetzt nicht mehr sind, weil diese Orte der Braunkohle weichen mußte. Umsiedlung kann man keine Heimat nennen und die Bilder wie es da früher war hatten ich und meine Freundin immer vor Augen. Man muß bedenke, daß es eine von Menschenhand neu geschaffene Landschaft ist. Diese Wanderung hat auch viele Weitblicke und die Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit taten bei dieser Wanderung richtig gut. Man hatte auch genug Möglichkeiten um zu rasten. Auch für die ältere Generation ist diese Wanderung zu empfehlen.
