    Super Tour bei Schmuddelwetter, da der Weg fast nur auf Schotter- und Teerstraßen verläuft.

    Eine abwechslungsreiche Tour in Bezug auf Landschaft, schöne Ausblicke, tolles Walderlebnis, malerische Orte. Wenn man in der Nähe von Zell ist, sollte man unbedingt den Abstecher zu den Kastenklingen machen. Es gibt nur ein Schild das die Richtung zeigt, aber die schönen zwei Wasserfälle muss man erst finden. Man geht am malerischen Kastenweiher vorbei, den breiten Weg hinauf bis zu einer 180 Grad Kurve. in der Kurve gibt es zwei Trampelpfade direkt nebeneinander die zu den Wasserfällen führen. Ein Höhepunkt!

    Schöne Runde. Es empfiehlt sich morgens in Börtlingen- Zell zu starten, dann hat man den einzigen leichten Anstieg am Anfang der Runde. In Zell nimmt man sich beim Metzger ein Vesper mit oder spätestens in Wäschenbeuren. Die Tour ist auch bei schlechtem Wetter machbar, da viel Feldweg und Asphalt. Schöne Aussicht auf den Hohenstaufen.

    Auch im Herbst bei Niesel und Nebel eine schöne Tour. Die immerkehrenden Wechsel aus Tälern und Höhen sind dabei besonders reizvoll. Ich bin die Tour in zwei Etappen gelaufen, um die Gegend noch intensiver wahrnehmen zu können. Die Nacht auf der Wiese war wunderbar!

    Die erste Hälfte macht großen Spaß durch den Wald und entlang an dem Stausee. Nach dem Kloster auf dem Hügel wird es weniger imposant.

    Eine schattige Variante dieser Tour "Rundweg Marbachtal" an heißen Tagen bietet der Einstieg in Börtlingen-Zell. Man folgt von dort ohne Anstiege ca. 3 km dem schönen Flußlauf des Marbachtales bis zum Talende. Nach dem kurzen Anstieg Richtung Waldspielplatz Eichenwasen findet sich, noch im Wald, ein Abzweig nach rechts, Richtung Himmelreich/Zell. Der sogenannte "Himmelreichweg" führt durch den Wald und vereint sich dann in 2km Entfernung zum Ausgangspunkt Börtlingen-Zell wieder mit dem hier beschriebenen Marbachtal-Rundweg. Die Gesamtstrecke beträgt dann geschätzte 6 km, es ist ein erholsamer Waldspaziergang. Allerdings ohne den wirklich schönen Panoramablick auf Hohenstaufen und Rechberg zwischen Wäschenbeuren und Waldspielplatz, der mich auf der "Originaltour" erfreut hat.
