    Wow – ich bin absolut begeistert! Diese Tour verdient den Namen Traumschleife wirklich. Ich kann manche der eher negativen Bewertungen überhaupt nicht nachvollziehen. Für mich eine absolute Traumtour mit abwechslungsreicher Streckenführung und vielen schönen Eindrücken.

    Ein durchaus schöner Rundweg. Viele feste Wege aber auch mal ein paar schmale Pfade. Immer wieder sehr schöne Ausblicke in die Landschaft. Der Weg ist sehr gut ausgeschildert und es gibt immer wieder gute Rastmöglichkeiten.

    Eine wirklich schöne und aussichtsreiche Strecke. Immer wieder tolle Weitblicke. Wald, Wiese und Waldrand wechseln sich schön ab. Die Strecke geht meist über Wirtschaftswege und gut ausgebaute Wanderwege und immer wieder Rastmöglichkeiten. Wir sind die etwas modifiziert gelaufen (weniger auf der Straße und ab Hoxberg teilweise über den Kaltensteinpfad).

    Sehr abwechslungsreich: bergauf, bergab, auch mal eben. Es geht mal durch den Wald, mal entlang eines Feldes oder eine Lichtung. Stellenweise sehr schöne Ausblicke möglich und teilweise auch abenteuerlich. Festes Schuhwerk wichtig, da viele Wurzeln und stellenweise herausgorderndes Terrain. Gute Beschilderung der Wegstrecke, zusätzlich viele Info-Schilder zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten und Baumaßnahmen oder wissenswerten Infos über die Natur.

    Mir hat die Tour auf überwiegend (Auto-)verkehrsfreien Wegen durch herrliche Landschaften mit tollen Ausblicken sehr gut gefallen. Den 5-ten Stern muss sie sich noch verdienen, eher Kleinigkeiten, aber besonders im Bereich vor Ilingen (Steinertshaus) würde man sich wünschen, der teils separate Fussgängerweg wäre für Radfahrer ausgebaut/freigegeben bzw. ein Fahrradstreifen wäre auf der Hauptstraße vorhanden. Die empfohlene Verlängerung der Tour sollte man unbedingt einplanen (kein geeigneter ÖPNV in Dörrenbach), ich habe mich für die Weiterfahrt nach Ottweiler entschieden.
