    Sehr schöne Wanderung auf stillen Pfaden, zu großen Teilen im Wald oder beschattet. Immer mal wieder muß man sich zumindest jetzt im Sommer durch die zugewachsenen Wege kämpfen. Allerdings verlaufen auch große Teile des Weges auf ausgeschilderten Wanderwegen. Wer sich an den GPX track hält kommt auch an. Relativ große Streckenteile auf Waldwegen, etwas Schotter und 2x durch Dörfer. Also recht vielseitig. Wir haben die Wanderung sehr genossen und werden sie sicherlich wiederholen.

    Sehr schöne von Bärlauchduft begleitete Runde mit Aussichten zum Walberla, Rodenfels und der Anhöhe Kalchreuth - Tauchersreuth. Die Kopfweiden (und die teilweise auf dieser Strecke zu auch zu sehenden Korbeichen) sind sehenswert.

    Zwar nicht wirklich eine MTB Strecke, aber dennoch sehr gut geplant, man quert kaum größere Straßen. Bin die Strecke mittlerweile schon drei mal gefahren.

    Top Tour. Am Anfang Anstieg, dann auf der Hochebene. Schöne Ausblicke. Weg gut beschildert. Im Wald aber auch auf freier Fläche. Bärlauchfelder ohne Ende.
