    Sehr schöne einfache Wanderung mit tollen Ausblicken von Burg Husen und der Kreuzbergkapelle! Einen Punkt Abzug gibt es, da der breite Weg durch den Wald etwas langweilig ist. Da hätte ich mir einen schmaleren Waldpfad gewünscht.

    Sehr schöne aber anstrengende Tour. Die Aussicht auf der Grub ist gigantisch. Eine Bitte an den Verfasser: Überarbeitet den Aufstieg zum Hexentanzplatz. Dieser ist ungenau aufgezeichnet und führt dann über einen zugewachsenen Weg. Überhaupt ist der weitere Aufstieg teilweise über den Westweg unfahrbar. Wenn man den Teil weglässt wären 5 Sterne angebracht.

    Landschaftlich wunderschön, ist doch Schwarzwald, aber die Tour sollte aktualisiert werden, oder eine detaillierte Beschreibung bekommen. Die Navigation stimmt an manchen Stellen nicht, und oft läuft man auf unmarkierte Strecken. Am schlimmsten ist hinter dem Käppelehof zurück zum Weißen Kreuz, wo man in kniehohen Gräsern landet. Am besten zurück auf dem Hinweg und ab dem Weißen Kreuz weiter. Die Tour verläuft im großen Teil über dem Grenzgänger Steig.
