    Ich habe die Tour vor kurzem gemacht und mit der Kamera begleitet (siehe Anhang) Ich hab die Tour als sehr angenehm empfunden. Die 24km haben zunächst abgeschreckt, laufen sich aber sehr gut. Zum Teil ist der Weg und auch die Markierungen schlecht gepflegt (deswegen auch nur 4 Sterne). Ich hab mich mehrmals verlaufen und konnte an manchen Ecken keine Markierungen finden. Diese müssen entweder erneuert (habe einen gefällten Baum mit einer Markierung gesehen) oder besser sichtbar gemacht werden. Wenn man sich mehrmals verläuft hat das gerade auf so einer langen Tour keinen guten Einfluss auf das Erlebnisgefühl an sich. Ohne GPS wäre ich zeitweise aufgeschmissen gewesen.

    Sehr schöner Weg. Viele Schautafeln und Sitzmöglichkeiten. Auch mit Fahrrad gut machbar (eine kurze Distanz muss dann allerdings geschoben werden).
