    Eine sehr schöne Tour von Ellingen auf den gelben Berg und zurück. Allerdings sollte man nach dem gelben Berg nicht der angegebenen Route folgen, sondern nach Kurzenaltheim nach Wolfsbronn über die Steinerne Rinne wieder nach Degersheim nehmen, denn der eingezeichnete Weg geht über gesperrtes Privatgelände was man meiden sollte. Steinerne Rinne immer sehenswert.

    Landschaftlich zum Ende hin immer toller werdend. Die km Angabe und die Höhenmeter stimmen nicht, sind beides mehr, da die Tour nicht genau am Radweg entlang führt!!

    Recht flach aber auch abwechslungsreich. Es geht an Feldern und am Waldrand entlang. Ein kurzes Stück Durch einen Laubwald. Das Schloß in Spielberg hat gut gefallen.

    Sehr abwechslungsreicher Wanderweg, mit Naturhighlights und geschichtlich-kulturellen Besonderheiten. Außerdem ist die fränkische Gastronomie oft herrlich. Die GPS-Daten passen erstaunlich oft nicht mit dem Wegverlauf zusammen. Aber man soll ja auch mit offenen Augen wandern und nicht auf‘s Navi schauen.
