    Sehr schöner Radweg der gerade am Anfang in Frankreich sehenswert ist. Der Streckenverlauf ist fehlerhaft. Besser der guten Beschilderung folgen.

    Schöne Rundtour. Auch die kurzen Abschnitte mit unbefestigten Wegen sind mit Trekkingrädern gut zu befahren. Eine früh angekündigte Baustelle vor Hornbach kann man bei der Tour mit dem Fahrrad ignorieren, da der Radweg kurz vor der Baustelle daran vorbeiführt.
