    Schöne Wege im Wald. Zu Beginn fehlen leider einige Wegezeichen. Einkehr im 'Wirtshaus" in Henfenfeld sehr zu empfehlen.

    Sehr schöne Tour, vor allem das kleine Waldhäuschen lädt zum Verweilen ein, denn es hat einen tollen Ausblick. Einziges Manko ist, wenn man so will, dass man teilweise durch eine Siedlung läuft.

    Die Tour hatte wir im 1.-4. Juli 2021 geradelt. Gestartet sind wir in Lauf an der Pegnitz. Die ersten zwei Tage ging es an der Pegnitz, Vils, Naab entlang: sehr idyllisch, sehr schöne Natur und kleine Ortschaften und haben fast niemanden getroffen - Altmühl belebter - Ludwig-Main-Donaukanal sehr schön, aber nach endlosen km mit nur Wäldern und Fluss sehr eintönig - kaum landschaftliche Abwechslung. Sehr zu empfehlen :) - Aber die Höhenmeter sind wohl auf nur eine Etappe zu sehen: insgesamt waren es über 2.000 hm !!

    Schöne Waldwanderung mit allerdings wenig Aussicht, da fast immer der Blick durch Bäume verstellt ist. Dafür entschädigen die überwucherten Felsen am Großen Hansgörgel und im Frühling das grüne Auf und Ab zum Kleinen Hansgörgel.
