    Die Wanderung am Kurhaus begonnen, durch den Kurpark, der wohl bei der Landesgartenschau von Horb mit einbezogen war. Durch das Laibetal ein interessanter Weg, dann leider Straße hoch. Nach Wiesenstetten ist ein Abzweig zu einer Hütte auf dem Track. Aber alles zugewachsen, daher weiter am Waldrand entlang. Von Dommelsberg hinunter, 'Strecke durch Waldarbeiten leider etwas verschmutzt. Das Schloß Mühringen mit interessanter Geschichte (Wikipedia) ist im Privatbesitz, keine Besichtigung möglich. Von Mühringen Waldweg, parallel zur Straße, daher entsprechende Fahrgeräusche, zu aufgelassenen Kureinrichtungen. Auch im Tal sind die Kurhäuser (Stahlbad, Kurmittelhaus usw.) dem Verfall preisgegeben, leider. Einkehrschwung um Café Arthaus, sehenswerte Einrichtung im Jugendstil. Freundliches Personal, gute Torte und Kaffee, sehr empfehlenswert. Interessante Tour.

    Eine sehr schöne Tour, die gewanderten Höhenmeter liegen bei 383 m. Wegen dem Bau der Hochbrücke ist derzeit (bis 2026?) ein Abstieg nach dem Plan zum Neckar nicht möglich.

    Überraschend schöne Pilgertour. Die sehr gut ausgeschildert ist. Mit Horb hat man gleich eine schöne mittelalterliche Stadt. Danach kommt Ihlingen mit der Jakobskirche. Die einfach aber Sehenswert ist. Ihlingen hat auch ne Pilgerherberge. Der Höhepunkt ist natürlich das Wasserschloss Glatt mit seinen wunderbaren Torten. Die Kalorien kann man aber gleich wieder abtrainieren . Denn danach kommt der Anstieg zur Schillerhöhe. Nur das letzte Stück von der Schillerhöhe nach Sulz macht kein Spaß. Ansonsten ist der Weg sehr zu empfehlen.

    Top Runde. Landschaftlich sehr schön. Bin die am gestrigen Sonntag gefahren und vom Verkehr her war es sehr ruhig. Wer Steigungen nicht scheut, dem kann ich diese Tour nur empfehlen.

    Als Winterwanderung mit leichter Schneedecke gut zu machen, dadurch fällt auch der höhere Anteil an geteerten Wegen nicht übermäßig ins Gewicht.
