    Das schönste was Eifel und Ahrtal für Motorradfahrer zu bieten haben, in einer anspruchsvollen, aber wunderschönen Tour.

    Ich bin die Tour heute bei schönstem Sommerwetter gefahren, allerdings mit Start in Müllenbach, da ich mir die Rennstrecke für den Schluß der Tour "aufbewahren" wollte. Die Tour ist wirklich abwechselungsreich, eine schöne Mischung aus Dörfern, bebauten Flächen, Waldwegen und Wiesenlandschaft. Allerdings ist die Beschilderung nicht so gut, dass man danach alleine fahren kann. Wenn ich nicht die Tour runtergeladen und mein Garmin dabei gehabt hätte, hätte ich den Weg wohl nicht gefunden (Hab mich sogar mit Garmin ein paarmal verfahren) Die Strecke hat gefühlt einen Asphaltanteil von 60% bis 70%, das ist eher langweilig und ein Killer der Stollenreifen. Es gibt (im Vergleich zur Länge der Tour nur sehr) wenige technische Singletrails, ansonsten technisch anspruchslos. Ein bisschen Kondition muß man allerdings mitbringen. Würde ich die Tour nochmal fahren? Wegen der Landschaft ja, sonst eher nicht.

    Feine Runde fernab vom Eifel-trubel, der an schönen Wochenenden auf den Moderouten herrscht. Verpflegung an Bord zu empfehlen, da schöne Plätze mit Fernsicht einladen.

    Sehr schöne Tour. Leider war die Strasse entlang des Laacher Sees gesperrt. Ich persönlich würde die Städchen vermeiden, da an den Wochenenden super viel los ist.

    Abweichend vom empfohlenem Startpunkt, der Hütte in Wimbach, startete ich vom Parkplatz am Angelpark bei der Barweiler Mühle. Der folgende Anstieg nach Honerath hinauf, war auch dank der gut ausgebauten Waldwege, keine Schwierigkeit. Lediglich die Passage oberhalb Honerath war aufgrund der unmittelbar vorrausgegangenen Forstarbeiten, auf einer Strecke von ca. 300 Meter etwas aufgeweicht. Bei extrem schönem Herbstwetter und guter Sicht, taten sich insbesondere in den Bereichen oberhalb Wimbach und Kottenborn, herrliche Aussichten auf. Der Weg führte im großen und ganzen auf gut begehbaren Wegen hinab ins Tal des Wirftbaches und folgte dessen Verlauf bis zum Ausgangspunkt. Kleiner Kritikpunkt sind die sehr klein gehaltenen Markierungsschilder (betrifft auch die Nachbarschleifen), die Positionierung gelang auch nicht ganz optimal. Zusammenfassend kann man jedoch von einer gut gesetzen Tour sprechen, die hinsichtlich der Kondition keine allzuhohen Ansprüche stellt.
