    Bei dieser Tour ist wirklich für jeden was dabei - Waldautobahnen sowie richtig grobe Abfahrten. Für weniger technisch versierte bzw. mehr vorsichtige Fahrer sind vermehrt Schiebepassagen dabei. Das Tracking ist an einer Stelle veraltet wo zwei, drei Trailstücke kaum oder nicht mehr existieren, und u,a, der schöne Geißbachsteig südlich von Mehlmeisel wird ausgelassen. Insgesamt aber eine tolle Tagestour und sehr zu empfehlen.

    Die Tour ist schön ruhig und führt größtenteils über "Waldautobahnen", d.h. Feldwege. Ein paar schöne und anspruchsvolle Trails sind dabei. An wenigen Punkten ist die Strecke etwas veraltet oder nicht optimal gelegt, aber trotzdem gut zu fahren. Unbedingt beim Klausenturm halten! :)
