    Eine absolute Traumtour! Der steile Aufstieg am Anfang hat sich definitiv gelohnt – die Aussicht am Windklang war einfach phänomenal. Danach ging es fast durchgehend über kleine, urige Waldpfade, bevor das Hangmoor noch einen richtig schönen Abschluss geboten hat. Für mich ganz klar 5/5!

    Super schöne Wanderung. Sehr abwechslungsreiche Route! Burg Dhronecken ist sehr sehenswert und lädt zum Verweilen ein! Es wird nicht das letzt Mal sein das ich diese Route gewandert bin!

    Schöner Ausblick vom Erbeskopfgipfel und sehr schöner Wanderweg. Für eine "Kleine Tour" genau das Richtige. Parken geht direkt auf dem Gipfel.

    Schöner relativ leichter Wanderweg mit schönen Weitsichten und tollen Raststationen(leckere,gekühltGetränke) und einem leckeren Eis(aus dem Automat) am Ziel. Hunde kann man problemlos mit nehmen. Der Weg ist allerdings größtenteils in der Sonne,daher im Sommer nicht für Vierbeiner zu empfehlen.

    Tolle Aussichten, was man vom höchsten Punkt in RLP erwarten kann. Anstrengend ist die Taumschleife, auch wenn es "nur" 7,5 km sind. Der Pfadanteil ist sehr schön, fast nur im Schatten 👍 Wir werden ihn nochmal im Herbst gehen, wenn es nicht so warm ist.

    Ich bin den Rundweg vor einigen Jahren mit meinem "neuen" E-Bike gefahren. Den Abstecher zum Erbeskopf unbedingt mitnehmen und auch die Wildenburg besuchen. Mein Tipp: genug Strom mitnehmen es sind doch viele Höhenmeter zu schaffen. Und auch Getränke und Verpflegung kann nicht schaden. Leider waren unterwegs verschiedene Ladestationen nicht in Betrieb und mit Gastronomie und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten ist es auch nicht so gut bestellt. Inzwischen habe ich die Tour in zwei Teile aufgeteilt, da sich die Strecke bei Börfunk/Abentheuer fast trifft und bin nun schon mehrmals diese kleine Runde zwischen Nonnweiler und Börfink und die große Runde zwischen Börfink und Kempfeld/Mörschied schon mehrmals gefahren. Ein wirkliches Erlebnis.
