    schöner Rundweg mit einigen Steigungen; überwiegend durch den Wald, zumeist auf festen Forstwegen; einige stärker zugewachsen, da wenig genutzt, einige schöne Ausblicke.

    War im Sommer 2018 auf dem Wittekindsweg. Abwechslungsreiche Strecken, landschaftlich schön. Unterwegs gibt es auch in den Dörfern viel zu sehen.

    Zweitageswanderung von Porta bis zum Bahnhof Mesch Neue Mühle. Bei gefrorenem Boden im Winter gut begehbar, ansonsten sehr matschig auf den Forstwegen zwischen Rödinghausen und Bergkirchen. Ohne Blätter an den Bäumen immer wieder mit tollen Ausblicken, besonders Richtung Süden.

    Sehr schöner und super ausgeschilderter Wanderweg. Fand den Waldweganteil sehr angenehm. Kaum Straßen oder asphaltierte Wege. Auch das „Runter und Rauf“ bei den zu überquerenden Straßen war klasse, weil so doch ein paar Höhenmeter zusammen kommen. Sind das Ganze in vier Abschnitten Richtung Osten gegangen.

    Sehr schöne Tour, wenn auch zu Beginn in Osnabrück viel Stadtanteil dabei ist. Ersten Abschnitt bis Engter gelaufen. Der hier heruntergeladene GPX Track passt nicht mehr ganz zur aktuellen weiß-roten Beschilderung, aber man kommt zurecht.

    Die Tour ist schön, aber der Weg war stellenweise schwer zu finden, etwas für Freunde des Geo-Caching. Er war teilweise überwachsen und lange nicht begangen worden, wir mussten auch mal querfeldein gehen und die Strecke variieren. Aber der Wald, durch den der Weg überwiegend führt, ist sehr schön.
