    Sehr schöne entspannende Wanderung! Leider aber habe ich häufig die Beschilderung vermisst. Im Ort Schöneschach, bitte dem Kneipp-Radweg (Kreuzung nach links) folgen. Dann an der Strassenkurve geradeaus in den Wald - im Wald selbst - weiter geradeaus Richtung Jagdhäusle gehen. Ich habe erst dann vor dem Jagdhäusle ein Schild Kneipp-Waldweg entdeckt. Ohne Navigation hätte ich es aber nicht geschafft. Ein paar mehr Schildchen wären toll!

    Wir waren vom 10. bis 13.10.22 unterwegs und haben uns an die empfohlenen Etappen gehalten. Kurz vor Oberegg und kurz vor Kaufbeuren stimmen die Touren von Outdooractive mit der Markierung nicht mehr überein, man kommt aber jeweils auf beiden Wegen zum Ziel.

    Ich fand die Tour einfach zauberhaft, sehr kurzweilig und landschaftlich absolut sehenswert. Hier zeigt sich der Frühling von seiner schönsten Seite.

    Mir hat der Weg viel besser gefallen als der zwei Sterne bewährter angegeben hat. Man kommt viel durch Wald und läuft immer auf Feldwegen am Waldrand lang. Ab und zu in der Tat asphaltiert. Bei Föhnwetterlage ist der Ausblick auf die entfernten Allgäuer Alpen toll.

    Wunderbare, leichte Tour mit sehr guter Einkehrmöglichkeit. Am Wochenende sollte man allerdings vielleicht reservieren. Sehr empfehlenswert.

    Habe diese Tour schon 9 mal in ähnlicher Streckenführung und angelehnt an den Crescentia-Pilgerweg mit Freunde gelaufen. Zu unterschiedlichen Jahreszeiten immer wieder schön. Tolle Erholung. Urige Unterkunft in der Katzbrui-Mühle.

    Echte Traumtour, lange Passagen über grüne Wiesengebiete mit freiem Blick auf die Alpen, meist wenig Verkehr, ca. 1 km unbefestigter Weg südlich Wörishofen, aber gut zu befahren, ohne Einschränkung zu empfehlen. Wolfgang Komm
