    Wir haben den Startpunkt dieser Wanderung ins Pressnitztal verlegt an die Einmündung der Straße nach Grumbach. Der Anstieg ist moderat, der Pfad ein wenig zugewachsen. Mit schönen Aussichten entlang des Feldweges wird man für alle Strapatzen belohnt. Die Wege im Wald sind selten begangen, es ist wunderbar ruhig dort. Eine abwechslungsreiche Wanderung in schöner Natur.

    Aussicht immer wieder super, sehr abwechslungsreich. Wirklich eine sehr schöne Tour. Ein Stern abzug dennoch, weil sich die Anstiege über die Feldwege am Ende doch etwas ziehen und die Anstiege teilweise nicht ihne sind. Die Strecke ist daher eher "mittel" und nicht leicht. Sonst tolles Konzept mit mehreren Startpunkten und vielen kleinen Rastgelegenheiten.
