    Eine sehr schöne Tour, die auch mit Kindern Spaß macht. Der Rückweg über die Schotterstraße ist allerdings momentan (23.8.2026) nicht möglich, da eine der Behelfsbrücken gesperrt ist.

    Eine wunderschöne Wanderung entlang der Waldnab. Für den Uferweg ist festes Schuhwerk sinnvoll, da der Weg über viele Wurzeln und Steine geht. In der Blockhütte lässt sich gut rasten. Dort gibt es auch einen Getränkeautomaten.

    Wunderbare Wanderung an der Waldnaab entlang! Da der westliche Uferweg ein „Steig“ ist, fahren dort keine Radler und für die Kinder ist es sehr spannend und kurzweilig 👍😀 Tipp: Baden in der Waldnaab am „Tischstein“

    Toller Weg, freundliche Menschen entlang des Weges! Sehr sehr schön! 🙂 Irritierend bloß Haferdeckmühle - Altes Gut am See mit DDR Fahne am „Merkelmussweg“ Weg. Was machen diese Leute hier wenn es Ihnen in Bayern nicht gefällt? ☹️ Uns egal - Wir genießen weiterhin den Goldsteig!!👍

    Wir sind die Tour heute (04.10.2017) in umgekehrter Richtung gegangen! War auch gut so. Wir Warenbörse einen drei rädrigen Kindersportwagen unterwegs und der Kleine Mann war an manchen Stellen gezwungen auszusteigen! An Blockhaus ließ ich Kinder und Frau zurück und ging die letzten 6,5 km in einer knappen Stunde alleine zum Ausgangspunkt zurück und holte alle mit dem Auto am nahegelegenen Parkplatz ab. Aber Das Waldnaabtal war wunderschön und wir werden die Route sicher nochmal gehen!

    Wunderschöne Tour. Wir sind sie gegenläufig gewandert, so dass nach Windischeschenbach der Weg uns durch das xNaabtal führte und am Ende 500 m vor dem Parkplatz die Blockhütte uns mit einem sehr guten Himbeerkuchen erwartete. In Windischeschenbach gibt es gegenüber der Kirche einen sehr guten Metzger! Die Gehzeit betrug mit zwei Pausen ca. 4,5 Stunden.
