    Heute bin ich die Tour gelaufen. Jedoch andersrum als vorgeschlagen, so dass das Highlight - der Brandeckturm erst in der 2. Hälfte der Tour kommt. Man hat tolle Aussichten, knackige Anstiege, schöne Pfade und auch mal Forstwege zum erholen und plaudern. Danke an den Schwarzwaldverein Dubach für den Wandervorschlag.

    Nicht separat beschildert; mit der Beschreibung kam ich gut zurecht. Die Highlights Hohes Horn und das wahrlich imposante Schloss Ortenberg werden auch über den beschilderten Ortenauer Sagenrundweg "Brandeck" erreicht.

    Landschaftlich sehr schöne Tour. Ich war mit E-Trekking-Rad unterwegs, was zum Teil schwierig war. Profilreifen wünschenswert

    Gigantische Tour. Ich habe die Tour im August 2024 gemacht und denke noch immer mit schönen Gefühlen daran zurück. Der Schwarzwald ist und bleibt ein RR-Paradies.

    Une rando avec une première moitié bien cardio ! Mais on sait pourquoi on fait l'effort une fois arrivé en haut ! La vue de la tour est splendide, on en a pris plein les yeux au-dessus de la mer de brouillard et de nuages. À découvrir !

    Den Startpunkt kann ich nicht ganz nachvollziehen. Muß auch nicht. Ich empfehle vorab einen kleinen Rundgang durch die Altstadt. Zuerst geht es steil durch nicht so aufregende Vororte bergauf. Aber haltet durch, denn dann wird die Tour immer schöner. Sitzgelegenheiten gibt es unterwegs auch. Ich bin die Strecke andersrum gelaufen, und habe es nicht bereut.

    Wirklich schöne Tour auf kleinen Pfaden und naturnahen Wegen. Nur die letzten Meter zum Brandeckturm und die letzten beiden Kilometer zur Wolfsgrube auf den ungeliebten breiten Forstwegen. Mit Hexenstein, Bühlstein, Hohen Horn, Brandeckturm, Durbach Weitblick und schließlich der Wolfsgrube interessante Stationen zum Erkunden. Tour auch im Hochsommer in den kühlen Morgenstunden empfehlenswert. 4 Sterne.

    Super abwechslungsreich: Stadt, Weinberge, Wald, Steine, Bäche! Trittsicherheit ist wichtig und die Abzweigung nach Riedle war ziemlich zugewachsen.
