    Eine schöne Tour mit vielen Ausblicken. Wir haben die Tour im Uhrzeigersinn gemacht. Vorsicht beim kurzen, steilen, sehr engen Trail von der Teufelsküche hinab zum Parkplatz an der Ronsberger Straße: der Trail wird in Fahrtrichtung rechts von einem Stacheldrahtzaun begrenzt. Am besten das Rad schieben. Und auf die Fußgänger achten.

    Schöne Aussichten. Sollte aber jedoch eher am Wochenende gefahren werden, da die Straße von Börwang bis Obergünzburg doch gut befahren sonst ist. Die Zeitangabe war sehr hoch gesetzt. Habe selbst mit Pause nur 2:15 gebraucht und bin sehr entspannt gefahren. Sonst top gerne wieder :D

    Recht schöne Tour. Etwas zu viel Asphalt für meinen Geschmack. Ein paar schöne Ausblicke auf dem Weg. Leicht zu finden und problemlos zu gehen
