    Super Tour und wirklich sehr gut beschrieben. Wir hatten uns eigentlich sehr auf das "einkehren" gefreut. Leider hatten alle Gasthäuser erst gegen 17 Uhr geöffnet. In seßlach haben wir gegen 15 Uhr zumindest was zu trinken bekommen... Also lieber erst gegen Nachmittag mit der Tour starten, wenn man sich nicht selber verpflegen möchte ..
