    Dickes Lob an KTN, sehr schöne Runde. Ich bin in Rehau eingestiegen. Die Uphills sind absolut machbar, stellenweise sogar 'meditativ' - mit Ausnahme der Skipiste. Aber da lassen sich wegen der Dichte des Wegenetzes leicht Umwege fahren. Ein paar der Forstwege waren noch nicht beräumt und oft zerfahren (wie fast überall nach den Winterstürmen) Laut GPS 3:40 reine Fahrzeit, bin aber jetzt auch nicht der fitteste. Das Wandernetz ist schon dicht beschildert, vielleicht kommt an den Kreuzungspunkten von Hexe, Frosch, Pumukel noch irgendwann eine Beschilderung, dann kann man in den Runden nach Lust und Laune wechseln.

    Eine gemütliche, kleine Runde mit schöner Aussicht. Mehr Spaziergang als Wanderung aber auch das ist mal schön :)
