    Die Wege waren sehr gut zu fahren mit einem schönen Ausblick auf die Weinreben und den Pfälzer Wald. Auch an den Straßen gab es einen breiten abgetrennten Radweg. Ebenfalls lohnt eine Einkehr in der Brauerei in Göcklingen. Das Essen war sehr lecker. Reservierung ist empfehlenswert. Einfach eine schöne Tour.

    Eine schöne Runde durch Weingärten, Dörfer und Städte. Man sieht auch Ölförderpumpen! Am Ende durchquert man Landau. 2 mal war der Radweg verlegt worden; ich bin der Originalroute gefolgt. Ich bin ohne E-Antrieb unterwegs. Am Ende habe ich die Steigungen in den Beinen gespürt. Die Runde kann man sehr empfehlen.

    Ein wunderbarer Weg durch die Weinberge. Einziges Minus sind die an mehreren Stellen fehlerhaften oder fehlenden Wegmarkierungen.

    Ein großartige Tour, den Cramerweg zu laufen, ist ein Genuss, die beiden Burgen, und jede mit Schänke, runden den Rundwanderweg ab.

    Landschaftlich sehr schöne Tour. Größtenteils kann man auf separaten Radwegen oder auf dem Bürgersteig fahren. Viele Einkehrmöglichkeiten auf der Route. Einige der Wege haben leider recht viele Schlaglöcher und Fugen zwischen den Betonplatten. Der GPX-Track ist fast überall sehr gut. Nur zwischen Mörzheim und Appenhofen verläuft er für rund 1 km auf einem kaum fahrbaren Feldweg im Weinberg parallel zur Straße. Hier ist es sinnvoller, stattdessen einfach weiter auf der Straße zu fahren.
