    Un parcours très agréable par une temps très chaud car la très grande majorité de la randonnée se fait à l'ombre. Nous avons tout de même bien transpirer mais c'était tout à fait supportable et agréable. Une joli rencontre avec des biches et un renard sur des sentiers peu fréquentés. Il faut en revanche suivre le chemin avec un GPS car il n'y a pas de panneaux à suivre et c'est parfois un peu compliqué, mais ça rend l'expérience moins académique et ce n'est pas plus mal. Nous avons pu nous rafraîchir au Döner près de la gare et c'était très appréciable.

    Ein wirklich schöner und abwechslungsreicher Wanderweg. Wald, Wiese, Weinberge und immer wieder tolle Ausicht nach allen Seiten. Die Wege sind auch bunt gemischt und auch mal ein Stück an der Straße ist dabei, aber genau das macht den Weg so schön. Ein Besonderen Dank gilt all denjenigen die mit den tollen Schnapsbrunnen (an denen es nicht nur Schnaps gibt 😜) aus der Runde eine echtes Erlebnis werden lassen. Ein kleiner Abbieger zu den Gaishöll Wasserfällen mit dem Kneippbecken können wir empfehlen was rund 1km extra macht.

    Sehr schöne Tour, besonders der erste Teil sehr abwechslungsreich. Ab Schwend stimmt nicht die Wegführung nicht mehr so richtig bis zur Fellhauer Hütte, man muss sich an den Schildern halten.
