    Schöner abwechslungsreiche Tour mit herrlichen Fernblicken. Die wenigen Pfade sind teilweise nicht so gut gepflegt, so dass man von Brombeeren zerkratzt und Brennnesseln gebrannt wird. Ich habe die Tour in zwei Etappen unterteilt und mit der Tour davor und danach kombiniert. Zwischenziel war. Liers. Der zweite Aufstieg nach Lind ist knackig.

    Sehr schöne, abwechslungsreiche Etappe, teilweise auch direkt oberhalb der Ahr entlang hier im Teilstück Schuld sehr laut von der Bundesstraße insgesamt 2 Ahr Überquerungen. Trotz der Länge gut zu bewältigen, dann nur etwas über 400 hm im Anstieg, aber fast 800 hm abstieg

    Sehr schöne Runde auf abwechslungsreichen Wald- und Wiesenwegen. Kurze Abschnitte über Teerweg. Schöne Aussichten über die Ahrberge und interessante Einblicke in Bergbau und Felsformationen.

    Schöne Wanderung über die Höhen oberhalb Schuld mit teils tollen Aussichten über die ganze mittlere Eifel. Wegen teilweise fehlender oder gar falscher Ausschilderung (Rastplatz vor Sierscheid) ist es hilfreich, mit Track zu laufen.

    Mooie tocht met verschillende panorama’s . Zeer rustig parcours met twee keer een stuk ‘single track’ lover de steile rotswand. Bij droog weer zeer goed begaanbaar. Altijd stijgen of dalen, geen vlakke stukken.

    Nonostante mi sia capitata una giornata semi autunnale, pioggia da Koenigswinter a Kreuzberg, fitta, continua, battente, poi 2 ore di break e ti pioggerellina ultimi 5 km, la Renania Palatinato è l'Ahrnthal valgonola pena del viaggio. Boschi di latifoglie, abbastanza naturali, abeti rossi, ripiantumazioni massive, ma tutto molto bello. 🙂

    Lange Abschnitte mit breiten Wegen sind auch für uns eher untypisch, aber wer sich darauf einstellt, wird jedoch die tollen Ausblicke über die Ahreifel genießen. Das war bei endlich mal sonnigem Wetter ein Genuß. Vielen Dank fürs Einstellen, wir werden sicher mal andere Touren von euch ausprobieren. Ggf. könnten euch unsere Ahrtal - Touren, z.B. die Rech oder die Schuld - Tour auch gefallen, wenn ich mir so euer Programm angucke. 2 Anregungen: Direkt nach dem Start in Insul kann man die erste Möglichkeit nach links wählen und den Ahrsteig verlassen. Ein schöner Pfad führt zu einem breiten Querweg, der nach rechts mit guter Aussicht zurück zu eurer Tour führt, vermutlich ähnlich lang. Den fast nicht mehr vorhandenen Pfad, den wir ca. 0,5 km hinter der Schwanert Hütte gesucht und gefunden haben und der zum Schluss fast weglos steil bergab führt, könnte man sehr schön umgehen, wenn man direkt über die Wiese runterläuft, was auch etwas kürzer ist.
