    Schöne Tour. Nicht besonders anspruchsvoll, aber Dank Bächen, Wäldern und offenen Wiesen immer interessant. Der Weg ist sehr engmaschig ausgeschildert und auch für Kinder (ab ca. 6 Jahren) zu schaffen. Für Kinderwagen allerdings ungeeignet. Meine Empfehlung: Gegen den Uhrzeigersinn laufen. Dann hat man die unattraktiveren Passagen (Dorf und Landstraße) schnell hinter sich gelassen und kann sich auf die Natur freuen.

    Sehr schöne Tour, auch bei schlechtem Wetter, feste Schuhe vorausgesetzt. Wir kehrten in der Kleinrehmühle ein. Die Bortzeit dort kann ich uneingeschränkt empfehlen.
