    Schöne Tour im Wald, ab dem oberen Wasserfall größtenteils Waldwege. Wir haben zum unteren Wasserfall den B3 statt den E1 genommen. Sonntags Bewirtung im Wanderheim Eschelhof.

    Das Trauzenbachtal ist wunderschön. Und man ist allein unterwegs. Wohlgemerkt an einem Samstag. Ich glaube, das kennt kein Mensch. Ein echter Geheimtipp! Kurz nach dem Limesturm ist ein kleiner Garten mit Spielen, etc. (nicht nur für Kinder) angelegt. Da kann die Pause dann auch mal länger dauern. Der Rückweg ist leider ein Stück weit auf Asphalt - aber geht halt nicht anders. Gasthaus Hirsch in Steinberg ist leider schon länger geschlossen. Die Reste des Limesturms im Wald (kleiner Stichweg) sind sehr interessant. Insgesamt eine sehr schöne Runde. Danke dafür.

    Super Tour, ohne jegliche Abstriche! (Wir sind allerdings in umgekehrter Richtung gefahren, um den längeren Anstieg von Täferrot auf der Landstraße zu vermeiden). Tipp: Abstecher zum Ostkastell und/oder zum Biergarten in Welzheim Achtung: ziemlich gefährliche, extrem steile, holprige Abfahrt vom Hagbergturm nach Horlachen (Schritttempo fahren oder absteigen)!

    Schöne Tour, mit der App kein Problem. Das Hörschbachtal bleibt wohl bis auf weiteres gesperrt. Wenn man sieht wie manche unangenehme Zeitgenossen den Rastplatz am oberen Wasserfall zu müllen, ist es auch leider besser so. Am Riesberg sieht es trotz Mülleimer nicht wesentlich besser aus. Aber das alles schmälert die Qualität der Tour nicht.

    Schöne Tour, gute Idee 💡 diese bwegt Wanderwege. Mit Deutschland Ticket aus Stuttgart oder Nürnberg gut erreichbar. Einen Stern 🌟 habe ich abgezogen wegen der 30% Aspahltwege. Die schöne Landschaft jetzt im Frühling macht das aber wieder gut.

    Schöner Themenweg zu allen Jahreszeiten. Allerdings verliert sich jegliche Beschilderung an der Saatschulhütte. Wohl den aktuell sehr ausgeprägten Waldarbeiten geschuldet...

    Recht viel Asphalt. Am Ende ist der beschriebene Weg eingezäunt. Da muss man sich selbst zurechtfinden. Eigentlich drei Sterne, aber den Vierten gibt's für den leckeren 😋 selbstgemachten Kartoffelsalat im Eschlhof

    Wunderschöne Tour mit stetigem Auf & Ab, viel auf herrlichen schmalen Pfaden. Nach Regen bzw. bei Nässe nicht empfehlenswert. Auch für heiße Tage gut geeignet, da man überwiegend im Wald unterwegs ist.
