    Abwechslungsreich, schöne An- und Ausblicke, Felder, Wald, Bachlauf, Weiden. Alle Wegearten. Empfehlung: Start am Biergarten in Staufenberg erlaubt die Burgbesichtigung zum Schluss und dann eine nette Einkehr.

    Abwechslungs- und aussichtsreiche Tour auf guten Wegen (bis auf das letzte Stück im Wald), die einige Schauwerte hat. Ist locker in 2:15 Stunden zu gehen. Aber: den hier eingezeichneten Weg zur Burgruine gibt es nicht bzw. er ist eine zugewachsene Sackgasse. Besser über das Gelände des Hotels laufen, dann auf guten Pfaden zur Ruine und wieder runter auf den Hauptweg.
