    Mooie tocht over de Jansberg - ook langs de wat minder bezochte plekken - in combinatie met een uitstapje naar het Reichswald. Voor de doorgang naar het Reichswald vanaf het fietspad (Grensweg) iets verder doorlopen dan op de route aangegeven.

    Sehr schöner Rundweg. Wir sind die Tour ab Parkplatz oudeklefsebahn nahe Wyler. Tatsächlich sind wir ca 16 km gelaufen. Mehrere Einkehrmöglichkeiten. Durch mehrere An- und Anstiege benötigt man ca 4,5 Stunden.

    Mich wundert es ein wenig, dass hier noch kein einziger Kommentar geschrieben wurde. Die Tour ist wirklich schön und abwechslungsreich und mit mittlerer Schwierigkeit auch gut eingestuft, es geht zum Teil ordentlich auf und ab. Viele An- und Aufstiege sind mit Balken verstärkt wie auch oben auf den Fotos zu sehen ist. Man läuft hauptsächlich im Wald, daher kann die Tour auch gut bei höheren Temperaturen gemacht werden. Wir haten ein GPS Gerät dabei, was ich auch empfehlen würde, da nicht alle Abzweigen gut beschildert waren, wir wären sicher ohne GPS ein paar Mal falsch gelaufen. Wir sind mit zwei kürzeren Pausen ca. 4 Stunden unterwegs gewesen. Es gibt genug Einkehrmöglichkeiten im Ort und beim Duivelsberg. Geparkt haben wir in direkter Nähe des Startpunktes am Straßenrand auf dem Berg en Dalseweg , da sind genug Parkbuchten vorhanden. Die Tour ist auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert!
