    Eine schön angelegte Tour, einige Waldarbeiten haben die Wege etwas verbreitert. Aber insbesondere die Burgruine ist ein absolutes Highlight!

    Tolle Aussichten, sehr gut beschildert allerdings teilweise abweichend vom Track. Ab km 6 etwas eintönige Wege, am Ende aber noch mal schön :)

    Die Drachenflugtour führt an schönen Aussichtspunkten vorbei und durch ein angenehmes Mischwaldgebiet. Die Pfade sind gut begehbar, die Waldwege angehmen. Die Beschilderung (gelbes D auf blauem Grund) ist gut angebracht, die Tour sicher ausgeschildert. Der Einstieg am Schwimmbad ist perfekt zum Parken geeignet.
