For gourmets, Krickenbach also has a lot to offer: Why not try the traditional Saumagen with mashed potatoes or enjoy a refreshing Federweisser at harvest time.

Another highlight of Krickenbach are the numerous events that take place here. In summer, the village festival with live music and regional specialities attracts guests from near and far. The annual wine festival also promises a good atmosphere with delicious wine.

Tourist attractions also include the 18th-century St. Laurentius Church, which impresses with its baroque elements and magnificent furnishings.

Die ganze Tour bin ich noch nicht gefahren, doch zufälligerweise bin ich den ersten Teil bis zum Gelterswoogsee heute gefahren und bei den Planungen für die nächsten Tage stolpere ich heute Abend doch tatsächlich über "meinen" Weg. Von KL bis zum Gelterswoogsee geht es teils auf (abgetrennten) Radwegen direkt neben den Bundes- und Landstraßen und teils nur wenige Meter daneben und trotzdem fühlt man sich dann wie mitten im Wald. Teilweise sind die Wege ziemlich schmal und von Ästen und wuchernden Pflanzen weiter eingeengt. Ein weiterer Streckenteil führt auf der Ortsstraße von Hohenecken. Soweit ist für Abwechslung gesorgt. Es empfiehlt sich eine breite Bereifung für die Waldwege.

Super Tour mit vielen Trails. Aber ohne Navi schwierig. Die Schilder sind im Laub schlecht zu sehen.

Persönliches Highlight waren die nicht enden wollenden Trailpassagen. Keine größeren Schwierigkeiten, auch landschaftlich sehr reizvoll, es gibt viele Möglichkeiten, wo man mit kurzen Abstechern vom Hauptweg immer wieder Interessantes entdeckt.
