    Tolle Runde, landschaftlich sehr schön. Bis auf die Abschnitte auf den Bundesstraßen waren wir an einem Samstag bei tollem Wetter ziemlich allein unterwegs. Zum Rasen sind die Straßen im übrigen völlig ungeeignet, da oftmals ziemlich schmal mit Gegenverkehr, für unsere Vespa aber prima. Wenn man Zeit genug einplant sollte man sich die Maare anschauen. Teilweise ist Baden erlaubt. Wir mochten das Pulvermaar. An der Ahr gibt es auch viele nette Örtchen zum Verweilen. Allen voran natürlich Ahrweiler und Altenahr. Auch den Nürgburgring könnte man näher erkunden. Alles in allem hat die Runde uns super gefallen. Dankeschön.

    Schöne entspannten Wanderung zum Einstieg. Wir sind keinem anderen Wanderer begegnet und hatten die schöne Natur für uns. Viele Wiesenwege führten uns nach Daun. Absolute Empfehlung, weil man den Lieserpfad auf Grund der guten Beschilderung komplett ohne Navigation, Karten oder Ähnlichem gehen kann

    Diese Etappe ist ein einfacher Auftakt in den Lieserpfad. "Pfad" sollte man auch nicht zu wörtlich nehmen. Allerdings war ich überrascht über die vielen naturnahen Wiesenwege und überhaupt die naturnahe Streckenführung. Es gibt nicht viele prägnante Highlights, aber diese Etappe ist schön angelegt und sehr gepflegt. Es gibt fast keine Höhenmeter bis Daun, so dass die Strecke für einen geübten Wanderer durchaus als Halbtagestour durchgehen kann. Oder man hängt noch etwas dran.
