    Schöne Etappe die sich sehr gut laufen lässt. Unbedingt den kleinen Abstecher zum Friedenskreuz und dem Wachturm machen (sind nur 200 m). Hat mir jedenfalls besser gefallen als der nach einem kleinen giftigen Anstieg erreichte Skulpturenpark. Nachdem ich erst dachte der Weg auf der Bayerischen Seite sei besser gekennzeichnet, hab ich mich direkt verlaufen. Na ja, war nicht schlimm. Die Kirche in Eussenhausen ist sehr schön und ich hab dort auch nen schönes Päuschen gemach. Den Pilgerstempel bekommt man in Mellrichstadt in der Information (sehr nettes Personal).

    Ich hab den Weg nicht ganz gemacht, sondern nur so gelaufen, dass ich die 3 Stempel einsammeln kann. Zuerst bin ich beim Skulpturenpark gestartet und bis zum Rastplatz am Buchenkopf gelaufen. Hier drangen dann laute Geräusche von Baumfällarbeiten aus dem Wald, in den der Weg geführt hätte. Ob der Friedensweg betroffen war/ist kann ich nicht sagen, denn ich bin wieder zurück zum Parkplatz. Zu diesen Abschnitt muss ich noch sagen, dass hier unbedingt wasserdichte Schuhe empfehlenswert sind, da der Weg viel über Wiesen verläuft. Nicht so toll fand ich, dass der Weg teilweise mit Gülle besprenkelt war... Die zweite Runde auf dem Friedensweg hab ich von dem kleinen Wanderparkplatz "am Heftenhof" aus begonnen. Diesen Abschnitt fand ich etwas schöner (Schotter-/Kolonnenweg).

    Vor einigen Jahren wurde der E6 im Wendland großräumig verlegt. Die gezeigte Strecke entspricht daher nicht mehr der Markierung vor Ort. Im Übrigen kann ich den E6 gerade im Wendland wärmstens empfehlen.
