    Was soll ich schreiben? Die ursprüngliche Beschreibung ist sehr ausführlich. Ich war trotzdem angenehm überrascht. So eine abwechslungsreiche Tour, wo es viel Verschiedenes zu sehen gibt. Auch in Bezug auf die Flora. Rastgelegenheiten gibt es auch. Ich empfehle der Community, auch mal dort her zu wandern. Denn einige wenige Wege sind, Stand Juli 2026, schon zugewachsen. Was aber kein Problem darstellt!

    Sehenswert. Erst ein mal wegen der markanten Grabsteine, aber auch wegen der schönen Bäume drum herum. Der Besuch des Friedhofs passt meiner Meinung nach gut zu einer Rundwanderung um Alpen.

    Wunderbare Radtour, die Kurzbeschreibung trifft es exakt. Sehr Abwechslungsreich mit vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten, tolle unterschiedliche Landschaften und viele einladende Einkehrmöglichkeiten. Da ich in Wesel wohne bin ich mit dem Fahrrad von zu Haus aus losgefahren, somit wurden ein paar Kilometer mehr fällig, so dass es am Ende 47 km waren.

    Ein netter Spaziergang, insbesondere wenn man gerne etwas ins Wasser möchte. Der Weg um den See ist gut begehbar.

    Zu der entsprechenden Jahreszeit super leckere Erdbeeren und Spargel. Ansonsten gibt es auch Kartoffeln, Eier etc. Sogar Küchen oder Eis von einem anderen Hof aus der Nähe.

    Schöne Tour, Aussicht, Stille, Wald, besonders nach langen Regenphasen empfehlenswert wegen hohem Asphaltanteil. Markt in Xanten ebenfalls sehr schön.
