    Wir haben einen Teil dieser Tour heute durch den bunten Herbstwald mit Kindern gemacht. Außer am Burgstein hatten wir niemanden getroffen und den Wald fas für uns allein. Der Burgstein ist ungefähr in der Mitte der Tour und bietet sich als Rastpunkt und Picknickplatz wunderbar an.

    Abwechslungsreiche Tour, unser Startpunkt war allerdings Einsiedel und wir wanderten auch entgegengesetzte Richtung. Trotzdem gut!

    Eine sehr schöne Rundwanderung welche besonders im letzten Teil großartige Ausblicke bietet. Zur Zeit durch den Wald zum Eisenweg umgestürzte Bäume welche zu übersteigen und zu umgehen sind.

    Angenehmer und intensiver, gleichzeitig nicht über die Maßen anstrengender Rundweg. Es erwarten einen Felder, Wald und Wiesen. Die schönen Ausblicke von der Dittersdorfer Höhe sowie vom Burgstein sind empfehlenswert!

    Schöne Rundtour mit vielen Aussichten. Vor allem lernt man bei der Tour den Ort auch erst mal richtig kennen. Wir sahen die Veranstaltungshalle, viele schön renovierte Häuser, Sportplatz, Freibad, schulische Einrichtungen. Für uns ein völlig neuer Blick auf Burkhardtsdorf.

    Eine wirklich sehr schöne Tour. Sollte man wegen dem jeweiligen Stand der Sonne Vormittag und Nachmittag machen. Selbst das Stück durch Adorf bietet Interessantes. Danke für die Tour.
