    Es ist immer wieder schön im Fränkischen Seenland unterwegs zu sein. Es lohnt sogar einen kleinen Abstecher über Pleinfeld zur Sommerrodelbahn zu machen.

    Sehr schöne, abwechslungsreiche und gut angelegte Tour. Vor allem der Teil entlang des Brombachsees landschaftlich sehr reizvoll. Es sind sehr viele Eindrücke und unterschiedliche Streckenabschnitte (Wald, kleine Ortschaften und Felder und Wiesen), die die Tour abwechslungsreich machen. Es gibt ein paar kräftige Steigungen zu bewältigen, die aber mit E-Bikes kein Problem sind. Vielen Dank an den Autor. Die Tour hat uns gut gefallen.

    Eine sehr Familienfreundlich Radtour. Die Kinder sollten aber sicher Fahrrad fahren können, da man immer Mal wieder eine Straße queren muss. Und sie sollten mindestens 10 Jahre alt sein. Oder extrem fit. Am See ist es sehr voll gewesen.

    Nicht ganz eine Tour, finde ich. Ich bin sie als Premierentour mit meinem neuen MTB gefahren. Manche Wege sind etwas verwachsen. Danke für die Tour (diese Wege muss man erstmal finden ;-))
