    Prima Tour. Anspruchsvoll, aber nicht zu schwer. Perfekt eingebettet in die Sehenswürdigkeiten der Region, gepaart mit informativen Elementen, wie bspw. eine kurze geführte Besichtigung der Burg Nohfelden.

    Immer wieder schön. Man sollte sich Zeit nehmen und auch auf den "Hausberg" hoch fahren und dort die Aussicht genießen. Ein Abstecher auch zur Marienverehrungsstätte im Härtelwald Marpingen lohnt sich.

    Wie eigentlich alle Wege im St. Wendeler Land, so hat auch der "Schmugglerpfad" seinen Reiz. In der empfohlenen Gehrichtung sind die ersten rund 2 Km etwas zäh, doch dafür gibt es hier die Schmuggler-Tränke. Dann nimmt der Weg Fahrt auf, es gibt einen tollen Mix aus schmalen Waldpfaden und schönen Abschnitten auf Wiesenwegen. Es werden einige kleine Bachtäler gequert und durchquert. Die Pfade sind toll angelegt und gepflegt. Zahlreiche Rastplätze laden zum Verweilen ein und es gibt viele tolle Infotafeln. Der Abschnitt über den Matzenberg ist nochmal ein richtiges Highlight am Ende. Landschaftlich stößt der Weg im Mittelteil etwas an seine Grenzen, die Gegend gibt halt auch nicht soviel her und es wartet nicht hinter jeder Biegung der große Knaller. Der hohe Pfadanteil und der hohe Anteil an Naturwegen an sich sorgen aber für viel Spaß und Abwechslung.
