    Wanderung mit tollem Ausblick. Es ist extrem Ruhig bei der Tour. Es sind fast nur die Vögel zu hören. Ruhebänke sind ausreichend vorhanden. Nicht so gut das relativ viel auf Teer gelaufen wird und die Beschilderung ist nicht optimal.

    Was für eine großartige Landschaft! Bei dem ständigen Auf und Ab durch die Alte Welt bieten sich auf jeder Anhöhe neue Ausblicke in eine Region, die keinen Vergleich mit etablierten Urlaubszielen scheuen muss. Und ein besonderer Genuss ist es, dies auf dem Motorrad zu erleben. Dabei ist man selbst an einem schönen Sommer-Sonntag fast alleine unterwegs. Oft haben wir Motorradtouren schon als Stress empfunden, aber bei dem sanften Gleiten durch die Täler und über die exponierten Höhenzüge der Alten Welt entspannen wir - fast schon meditativ. Besondere Höhepunkte für uns Biker? Auf jeden Fall das Motorradmuseum in Otterbach, wo in einer ehemaligen Kirche auf zwei Ebenen Old- und Youngtimer präsentiert werden. Und dann die vielen Einkehrmöglichkeiten. Geheimtipp: Die Gartenwirtschaft auf dem Felsberger Hof mit ihrer Blütenpracht (leider nur sonntags im Sommer geöffnet). Aber nicht weitersagen!
