    Sensationell lecker! Ich würde gerne mehr Sterne vergeben. Es gibt hausgemachtes Eis aus regionalen Zutaten, saisonal wechselnd. Außerdem kann man sich noch an einem sehr ansprechendem Kuchensortiment, Eclairs und Macarons bedienen, ebenfalls alles selbstgemacht. Solltet ihr in der Gegend sein, plant unbedingt einen Besuch im „Sweets“ ein.

    Schöne Wanderung in der stillen Natur mit vielen interessanten Infotafeln zum Leben früher in diesem Seitental. Achtung: Die Gaststätte Auerhahn hat keine regulären Öffnungszeiten, sondern öffnet nur auf Anfrage.

    Sehr liebevoll angelegter Rundweg. Am Anfang noch über Asphalt und durch eine Siedlung, bis man dann ab einem Wanderparkplatz endgültig in den Wald auf schmalen Pfaden geführt wurde. Ich musste mir tatsächlich wieder meine Jacke anziehen, da es doch recht schattig war (also bestimmt im Sommer sehr angenehm). Die letzten 3-4 km sind wieder auf breiten Forstwegen, hier zieht es sich dann etwas. Es gibt viele Sitzgelegenheiten. die meisten nicht in der Sonne (bestimmt auch sehr gut im Sommer). Ich hab mit 3 kleinen Pausen 6 Stunden gebraucht, und ich war nicht langsam unterwegs.

    Ich fand die Ausschilderung in die beschriebene Richtung vollkommen ausreichend. Nils und Mats-Yorik würden sich freuen, wenn der liebevoll hergerichtete Trinkbrunnen fair bezahlt wird. Highlights: absolute Ruhe in den Wäldern, der tolle Trinkbrunnen von Nils und Mats (zwei Jungs), Blick auf die Schwäbische Alb

    Schöne Tour mit vielen Rastmöglichkeit, und tollen schmalen Pfaden immer wieder hat man auch schöne Aussichten. Perfekt ausgeschildert ist sie auch. Wir hatten heute sehr viel Spaß, da das Wetter auch nochmal mitgespielt hat. 👍🏻
