    Ich bin mit der Regionalbahn von Hinterweidenthal nach Kaiserlautern gefahren und dann die Tour mit dem Bio Bike zurück. Am Anfang folgt man Landstrassen, aber dann wird es wirklich schön! Es gibt 2-3 knackige Steigungen; einmal musste ich schieben. Nach der letzten Steigung genießt man eine rasante Abfahrt mit Spitzkehre zurück nach Hinterweidenthal. Fazit: Top Tour, welcje ich bestimmt noch einmal fahren werde.

    Kann die Bewertung im Großen und Ganzen nachvollziehen. Zum positiven : eine sehr ruhige Route mit wirklich tollen intakten Wäldern . Dass es da nur 2 oder 3 Felsen gibt, ist somit weniger schlimm. Extrem einfallsreiche und schöne Rastmöglichkeiten. Zum negativen : die Beschilderung ist wirklich schlecht. Teilweise gar nicht, teilweise quer zum Weg. Dafür dass die Tour das Aushängeschild ist müsste dringend was gemacht werden. Video zur Tour unter https://youtu.be/T4nNCcqfkfA

    Eine sehr schöne abwechslungsreiche Tour. Ich (Trekking Rad) bin mit Sohn (13, MB) und Frau (E-Bike) heute die Tour geradelt. Erst geht es entlang der Wieslauter immer sanft bergab. Man kommt durch Dahn und biegt dann bei Niederschlettenbach nach Norden ab. Es geht durch den Wald entlang des Seehofweiher und über die Höhe zurück über Lug nach Hauenstein. Es gibt immer wieder phantastische Ausblicke auf Wiesen, Bach und Landschaft. Ich hab meinen Soh gewarnt, dass die Höhenmeter (700 HM) am Ende kommen. Er wollte nicht hören und war dann fertig, weil er es zu sportlich angegangen ist. Also die ersten Steihungen langsam hochkurbeln.

    Schöne, kurzweilige Tour! Nicht spektakulär, aber dennoch sehr empfehlenswert. Ich empfehle, die Tour anders herum zu laufen, sodass man erst am Ende an den Teufelstisch als Highlight kommt. Also vom Parkplatz hoch und gleich rechts runter und dann dem Weg entsprechend folgen.
