    Wir sind dem Weg Nummer 50 durchweg gefolgt und hatten eine Menge Spaß. Die Runde ist richtig schön und speziell am Ende Richtung Fürstenstein nochmal richtig steil bergauf. Die Dauer ist meiner Meinung nach zu lang angegeben. Wir brauchten für die Strecke ca. 1h/45 min. Haben aber auch keine zu ausgiebigen Pausen gemacht. Alles in allem eine tolle Runde, sicher auch für Kinder. Viel Spaß.
