    Hallo *, ich hab mir das zwischen Wünschensuhl und Oberzella mal angeschaut und den Wegverlauf, wie er aktuell markiert ist, bei Openstreetmap hinterlegt. Hier anzuschauen: http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/73183 (@Admin: Der Link geht in Ordnung, Jörn weiß bescheid!). Die Wegführung muss früher tatsächlich einmal anders gewesen sein, denn man findet im Wald auch an anderen Stellen Muschelmarkierungen (die aber im Nirgendwo enden und die man auch nur findet, wenn man sich in der Gegenrichtung bewegt. "Richtigherum", also Richtung Santiago D.C., bekommt man davon nix mit). Der in der Tourbeschreibung ebenfalls erwähnte Lulluspfad (X16) ist in der Gegend übrigens völlig chaotisch markiert - da hat man offenbar auch ein- oder gar mehrfach die Wegführung geändert, aber vergessen die alten Schilder zu entfernen.
