The tour went via Gauselfingen to the Lauchertsee, the lake was not overcrowded, I would have expected more people there in such great weather.

    Schöne Rundtour. Allerdings gab es heute viel Wind und damit waren ca. die Hälfte der Loipen verweht, also ganz und gar weg.

    Also eigentlich 3 1/2 Sterne. Sehr entspannender Weg, absolute Ruhe, weite Blicke über große Lichtungen, teils schön weicher Waldboden, aber auch mal Teerwege. Nichts Aufregendes, aber sehr schön und als Highlight am Schluss die Höhle. Wir haben nach der Höhle die Abkürzung genommen und waren so bei gemütlichem Tempo 1 1/2 h unterwegs.
