    Sehr schöne Wanderung. Wir sind durch Zufall noch nach den Sinterterassen auf dem Weg auf die Almadlerhütte gestoßen. Dort konnte man sich kühle Getränke kaufen und die mitgebrachte Brotzeit verzehren. Wir waren mit Kind (9 Jahre) wandern und es war eine tolle Wanderung! Haben aber gut 5 Stunden gebraucht.

    Schöne Rundtour, überwiegend Radwege, auch gute Einkehrmöglichkeiten sind vorhanden. Eine gewaltige Steigung ist aber zu absolvieren, die nur gut trainierte Radler oder E Biker nett finden, dafür ist der Rest der Strecke eher entspannt, solange es am Kanal keinen Gegenwind gibt. Sehr empfehlenswert! Danke

    Schöne Wege, Wald, Aussicht, alles stimmig. Schönste Wanderung bisher. Wir sind die Tour wegen des extrem steilen Wegstücks zw. Parkplatz und Friesener Warte "verkehrherum" gegangen. Ohne GPS und Kartenmaterial (auf einfachem Handy) fast nicht zu finden.

    Schöne Wege durch Buchenwälder und eine tolle Aussicht am Ende der Tour. die Sinterterassen und auch die Figuren haben wir, trotz GPS, nicht finden können. Da die tour nicht markiert ist, ist GPS und Kartenlesen zwingend.

    Eine sehr schöne Tour mit wenigen Höhenmetern bestens für eine Packtaschentour geeignet. Highlight Vogelburg: Lohnenswerter kulinarischer und aussichtsreicher Abstecher. Zwischen Fahr und Volkach liegt die Vogelburg südlich vom Main in der Nähe von Nordheim. Mit schwerem Gepäck empfiehlt es sich vielleicht die Tour im Uhrzeigersinn zu fahren um unnötige Qualen um den höchsten Punkt der Tour (Gräfenneuses) zu vermeiden.
