    Schöne, gut ausgeschilderte Tour, überwiegend im schattigen Wald. Dies hat allerdings leider den Nachteil, dass es nicht so viele schöne Ausblicke gibt. Der großartige Panoramablick ins Ries am Ende der Tour (wir sind gegen den Uhrzeigersinn gelaufen) entschädigt aber etwas.

    super schöne Radtour durch eine abwechslungsreiche Landschaft. Unterwegs kann man noch eine Kirche besichtigen oder eine kurze Kneipp-Pause einlegen. Strecke fast ohne Schatten. Größtenteils asphaltiert.

    Elke hat mit viel Liebe zum Detail und geologischer Fachkenntnis eine sehr abwechslungsreiche Tour durch den Meteoritenkrater entworfen.Wir ritten diese Tour an 2 heißen,sonnigen Tagen.Es gibt genügend schattige,idyllische Waldwege und eine Kneippanlage lädt zum abkühlen und Pferde tränken ein.Die Etappen sind auch für Einsteiger gut zu schaffen.Für unsere Pferde und uns wurde an den Wanderreitstationen sehr gut gesorgt.Da wir als Schnittpunkt Leiheim gewählt hatten,unser Auto also auch zur Verfügung stand ,konnten wir noch das mittelalterliche Nördlingen mit seiner begehbaren Stadtmauer,dem Wachturm Daniel,von dem aus man den besten Rundumblick über den Krater hat,besuchen.Wir kommen wieder.Es gibt noch viel zu entdecken.
