    Die ganze Tour bin ich noch nicht gefahren, doch zufälligerweise bin ich den ersten Teil bis zum Gelterswoogsee heute gefahren und bei den Planungen für die nächsten Tage stolpere ich heute Abend doch tatsächlich über "meinen" Weg. Von KL bis zum Gelterswoogsee geht es teils auf (abgetrennten) Radwegen direkt neben den Bundes- und Landstraßen und teils nur wenige Meter daneben und trotzdem fühlt man sich dann wie mitten im Wald. Teilweise sind die Wege ziemlich schmal und von Ästen und wuchernden Pflanzen weiter eingeengt. Ein weiterer Streckenteil führt auf der Ortsstraße von Hohenecken. Soweit ist für Abwechslung gesorgt. Es empfiehlt sich eine breite Bereifung für die Waldwege.

    Bin die Tour jetzt 2x gefahren. Das erste Drittel ist Mega. Immer wieder schöne Singletrails und auch mal ne Schlüsselstelle. Das zweite Drittel heißt es beißen. Einfach nur Forstautobahnen, aber trotzdem Schöne Landschaft. Und auf dem letzten Drittel gibt es wieder mehr Trails. Blick auf die Airbase ist sehr cool.

    Tolle Tour! Teils auf Waldwegen und teils auf schnellen Trails! Abfahrten mit leichten Drops und absolut flowige Pfade z.B. von Hohenecken kommend Richtung Burg Landstuhl aber auch von der Burg Richtung Kindsbach absolut flowig und Grinsen zaubernd! Besonderes Lob an den Streckenwärter! Die Trails waren trotz des extremen Dornenwachstums super freigeschnitten - TOP Trailpflege! Gerne wieder

    Hallo vom 22.04 - 29.04 hab Dir Tour durchgängig bis nach Saarbrücken gemacht, echt eine Erfahrung auch für Leib und Seele es liegt alles so schön vor der Haustür und kann Sie daher nur empfehlen. Jedoch will ich doch erwähnen das es viele Stellen gibt wo die Hinweisschilder für den Weg gestohlen wurden. Also bitte wir sind nicht allein Bitte lasst Sie auch für andere noch an Ihrem Platz den es ein Weg der noch einige mehr gehen möchten. LG Uwe Falls Interesse besteht, alsbald gehe ich die ganze Südroute
