    Schöne Rundtour. Mit dem E-Bike sehr angenehm zu fahren. Einige Wegabschnitte sind sehr zugewachsen, dass sie entweder nicht zu fahren sind, oder nicht als befahrbar ersichtlich sind. Die meisten Stellen lassen sich leicht umfahren. An einer Stelle muss man sich ca. 10 Meter etwas durchkämpfen, um auf der Route bleiben zu können.
