    Eine tolle Tour durch die Weinberge mit vielen Möglichkeiten zur Weitsicht und 3 explizite Aussichtspunkte. Zum einem die schönste Weinsicht, prämiert im Jahr 2012, und zum anderen zwei Mal eine Weinkanzel. Die Strecke läuft sich gut und einige Abschnitte verlaufen kurz durch den Wald, wo man bei großer Hitze dankbar für den Schatten ist. Diese Tour kann ich empfehlen!!

    Schöne Rundwanderung durch Besigheim, Felsengärten, Felsenkellerei und Hessigheim. Achtung ⚠️ die Felsengärten sollte nur in eine Richtung (von Hessigheim her) begangen werden, Einbahnstraße!! Wir waren am 1 Mai unterwegs und es waren auf der Strecke verschiedene Veranstaltungen. Was uns nicht so gefallen hat, war der Anteil der Strecke auf Teer und an Straßen lang. Im großen und ganzen, eine schöne Wanderung.

    Nette abwechslungsreiche Runde. Am besten bei trockener Witterung, da es auch schlammige Passagen gibt. Einkehrmöglichkeiten im Sommer am Schlossbiergarten und in der Gaststätte am Golfplatz.

    An einem sonnigen, nicht zu heißen, Sommertag (23°C) abgeradelt. Glücksgefühl pur, wenn man sich nicht hetzt. Es gibt genügend Eisdielen und Cafés, an denen man rasten kann. Einfach klasse und gefühlt meist bergab.

    Ich bin verkehrtherum von Besigheim nach Bietigheim gelaufen und hab die Strecke mit einem Schlenker durch den Wald verlängert (nach Rossert rein übers Brachberger Tal hin zum Abendberg). Es hatte immer wieder etwas geregnet, weshalb man gerade bei dem kleinen schrägen Trampelpfad im Wald etwas vorsichtig sein sollte. Dafür hatte ich die Strecke komplett für mich alleine und konnte an ein paar vereinzelten Stellen auch auf einer Bank unterm Blätterdach pausieren. Wer seine Strecke ebenfalls verlängern oder andere Strecken in der Region testen will, dem empfehle ich die lokale Wanderkarte von 3B-Tourismus, die an der Strecke ausgehängt ist, aber auch zum Download bereitsteht: https://www.3b-tourismus.de/de/downloads/downloads-pdfs/freizeit-und-wanderkarte/3B_Wanderkarte2023_web.pdf

    War eine schöne Runde. Tolle Landschaft! Der Pfad zu Beginn am Neckar entlang durch den Wald ist schmal und uneben. Neben dem Pfad ging es den Hang steil hinunter. Der Pfad war durch den gestrigen Regen matschig und rutschig. Für kleine Kinder oder nicht trittsichere Personen halte ich es für gefährlich bzw. unentspannt. Man kommt an einem tollen Spielplatz vorbei. Da gibt es sogar eine Feuerstelle. Ein paar Meter weiter Richtung Weinberge gibt es einen Automaten für Wein und Mineralwasser.
