    Die Tour hat mir und meiner Frau gut gefallen. Sie war abwechslungsreich und hatte dank des Aussichtsturms auf der Mottener Haube einen hohen Erlebniswert. Auch schöne Singetrails waren für uns als Läufer ein Genuss. Eine Einkehrmöglichkeit haben wir auf dem Weg leider nicht gesehen. Die zweimalige Autobahnquerung war für uns ein kleiner Wermutstropfen. Aber bei 20km Strecke waren genug schöne, ruhige und idyllische Passagen dabei, die das ausgeglichen haben.
