    Eine sehr reizvolle und landschaftlich extrem abwechslungsreiche Tour - absolut empfehlenswert. Aber....es ist keine leichte Tour! Neben den Steigungen, die eine gute Grundkondition verlangen, sind vor allem die Abfahrten auf Schotter und in den Wäldern anspruchsvoll und für Ungeübte sehr anstrngend - technisch. Wir sind am Busbahnhof Abtsgmünd gestartet, es ist nicht empfehlenswert, die Richtung der Runde zu ändern!!
