    Sehr schöne Strecke, vor allem wenn man den Teerweg hinter sich gelassen und dann den Waldrand erreicht hat. Von da an geht es immer am Waldrand (Buche/Kiefer) entlang auf Wald- oder Schotterwegen. Wenn man nach dem Aussichtspunkt Belrieth bis zum Paradies aufmerksam links und rechts schaut, entdeckt man das ein oder andere zum Lesen oder Schmunzeln. Neben den schönen Aussichten gibt es noch 3 Touringen Stempelstellen und viele Sitzgelegenheiten am Wegesrand.

    Schließe mich dem letzten Kommentar an. Der Weg führt durch abwechslungsreichen Wald, aber eben auch nur Wald. Bis auf den Anfang und das letzte Stück. Viele Kleinigkeiten sind am Rand zu finden. Insgesamt zu empfehlen als kleine Wanderung zwischendurch.

    Dieser Weg ist super ausgeschildert. Der „2“ lässt sich leicht folgen. Zudem ist er mit vielen Infotafeln zu Geschichtlichem und Ökologischem versehen. Immer wieder sind Sitzbänke zum Ruhen und Aussicht genießen vorzufinden. Wir können den Weg nur empfehlen.
