    Meistens gut begehbar. Manchmal schwierig, sicher mit ein kleiner Hund. Viele Waldarbeiter. Auch manche Hirsche.

    Nette Tour. Wir sind die Tour so gefahren, dass Aurich gegen Mittag erreicht wurde. So gab es eine gute Möglichkeit in der Auricher Einkaufsstraße Mittag zu essen. Interessant ist insbesondere die Strecke entlang des Kanals.

    Schöne Strecke - einige Strecken sind etwas rustikal und bei Regenwetter wird es teilweise rutschig.

    Sehr gut beschriebener Weg (erstaunlich wie präzise selbst bei den Wildwechselwegen als Weghinweis) und eine Wandermöglichkeit in einer Gegend, die sonst kaum die Möglichkeit zu längeren Fußwegen in der Natur bietet.

    Eine landschaftlich schöne Tour ohne große Anstrengung. Nutzbar mit Tourenrad oder MTB, da sandige Passagen oder Feldwege. Deshalb für schmalspurige Renngeräte ungeeignet.
