    Schöne Tour, aber viele Rumpelanteile, teilweise etwas verschlammt, und die Steigungen mit Schotter dürften für Fahrräder ohne Motor nur mit sehr starker Kondtion zu schaffen sein. Ingesamt sind hier wohl Leute mit Mountainbike im Vorteil.

    Wir sind die Tour nach der Navigation des Mobiltelefons gegangen. Uns ist das Wanderzeichen "D3" sehr häufig begegnet. In der Beschreibung fehlt der Hinweis, dass man die Tour auch nach dem Wanderzeichen gehen kann. Eine Recherche im Internet hat mich hierhin geführt: https://www.driedorf.de/wandern-radfahren/articles/extratour-rund-um-den-knoten-d3.html?file=files/driedorf/downloads/karten/wanderweg_rund-um-den-knoten.pdf Insgesamt eine schöne gut gehbare Streckenwanderung. Einige Streckenteile sind offenbar auch für Mountainbiker attraktiv. Wir haben nach der Querung der K85 vor dem Stausee die Abzweigung nicht mitbekommen und sind den asphaltierten Weg weiter gegangen. Uns fehlt daher der Eindruck am Stausee.

    Eine schöne abwechlungsreiche Tour die auch bei Schnee noch einigermaßen gut zu gehen war obwohl hier der Anspruch doch nicht mehr als leicht zu bezeichnen ist. Schnee fordert doch erheblich mehr an die Kondition und Trittsicherheit. Bei meiner Tour waren in einigen Bereichen umfangreiche Baumfällarbeiten die die Strecke nur mit kleineren Querfeldein Passagen begehbar gemacht haben. Ansonsten landschaftlich sehr reizvoll.

    Es war unsere erste organisierte Radtour mit einem E-Bike. Und es war ein wunderschöner Tag mit vielen tollen Eindrücken und Erlebnissen. Im Besonderen möchte ich die perfekte Organisation der TouristInfo Rennerod und deren Helfern loben. Wenn es zeitlich passt sind meine Frau und Ich mit Sicherheit beim nächsten Event dabei... Dankeschön für den tollen Tag !
