    Wunderbare Wegführung, super Ausschilderung, was für eine Landschaft! So schön! Aber die Schotter-Abschnitte nerven, besonders bergab. Selbst mit Mountainbike ständiges Ge-Eiere, und mit schmaleren Reifen natürlich umso mehr. (Dann lieber Matsch.) Sind von Gunderath bis Monreal und zurück, da fand ich die Rücktour „bergauf“ deutlich angenehmer. Am Weg viele schöne Stellen (Hüttchen, Bänke, Spielplätze, Info-Tafeln, Brücken). Und Monreal ist natürlich eine Perle. Hoffentlich geschieht ein Wunder (Zeit? Regen? Matsch? Schwere Fahrzeuge?Beton? Asphalt?), dass die losen Steinchen irgendwie festgehalten werden, diese Schotterungswut auf Wander- und Rad-Wegen nimmt wirklich überhand…

    Bei fast sommerlichen Temperaturen starten wir unsere Tour in Mayen. Wir fahren die Strecke hin und zurück, so dass wir auf ca. 60 km bei ca. 600 hm kommen. Die Radtour ist einfach nur wunderschön!!! Man fährt überwiegend auf feinem Schotter, aber auch auf Asphalt und Feldwegen, es gibt viele Rastmöglichkeiten für Pausen, Idylle pur! Eines der Highlights ist natürlich das Fachwerkörtchen Monreal, wo wir uns zum Ende hin einen Cappuccino gönnen. Die Markierungen sind sichtbar gut vorhanden, man muss allerdings wissen, dass man dem grünen Pfeil folgt, lediglich bei mehreren möglichen Abzweigungen ist das Logo des Elztal-Radweges angebracht. Die Tour wird als "mittel" beschrieben. Das mag für E-Bikes gelten. Wir Beide (60+) fahren noch klassisch, und das Hügelchen zwischen Monreal und Mayen ist nicht ohne, gerade am Schluss, wenn die Beine schon etwas müde sind. Juhu, denn gut geschafft! Bitte bei der Planung beachten! Fazit: Ein toller Weg, der nach Wiederholung schreit. Leider, leider liegen schon traurigerweise der erste Müll und Zigarettenkippen an den Rastmöglichkeiten. Was sind das nur für Menschen?!?!

    Schöne ereignisreiche Strecke. Gerade für Kinder optimal. Jederzeit die Möglichkeit des Austobens und der Verbesserung der motorischen Fähigkeiten.

    Hallo Marcus, habe eben das Video bei YT gesehen. Klasse Tour in einer herrlichen Landschaft, aber man muss bei dieser Tour auch ordentlich den Berg hoch kurbeln. Für mich als Flachlandradler könnte das schon anstrengend werden. Aber ich mir mal die Tour gemerkt, vielleicht fahre ich diese auch mal. Dann sage ich mal Danke für´s mitnehmen. Viele Grüße Uwe
