Ja, ein sehr idyllischer kleiner Rundweg durch typisch Westerwälder Landschaft. Er trifft immer wieder den Elbbach. Insbesondere bei der kleinen Ortschaft Spatzeburg/Härtlingen und am kleinen Wasserfall mit Ruhebank Nähe Sportplatz Guckheim ist das sehr idyllisch. Seinem Namen Kapellenweg wird er gerecht, 6 Kapellen/Kirchen und einige Wegkreuze gilt es zu entdecken. Ansonsten abwechlungsreich Felder, (Streuobst-)Wiesen, Wälder und Bachtal. Tip: Der Kapellenweg lässt sich perfekt auch mit dem Rad erkunden und wenn man die Abkürzung ab Hofgut Westert direkt nach Guckheim nimmt, kann man ihn sehr schön teilen für 2 kürzere Wanderungen

Zwischen Ehringhausen und Eisen war der Weg sehr schlecht, lockerer feiner Schotter. Im weiteren Verlauf waren viele geteerten Wege dabei, meist Radwege wenig Kreisstraßen. Zum Abschluss waren wir auf der Terrasse im Haus Seeblick bei Hahn am See eingekehrt. Die Tour hatte uns sehr gut gefallen, viele Bänke, auch im Schatten und tolle Ausblicke.

Das obere Wiedtal hat viele sehr schöne Ecken! Aber auch viele Strassenabschnitte - deswegen gibt's Abzüge. Die Straßenpassagen nach Puderbach und dann durch's Holzbachtal waren gewollt - scheinbar gibt's dort keinen ausgewiesenen Radweg durch's Tal...

Herrliche Wegführung durch Feld, Wald, Wiesen und kleine Westerwald- Dörfchen fernab vom Straßenverkehr- Bänke und Rastplätze luden zu Pausen ein- sehr gut geeignet bei Hitze und Schwüle, denn immer wehte ein Lüftchen und die Waldstrecken waren angenehm kühl- gefiel uns so gut, daß wir für morgen eine weitere Tour der Westerwald- Touristik einplanen
