    Diese Rundwanderung hat eine sehr gelungene Wegführung und ist bestens markiert. Es sind nur kurze Abschnitte geschotterte Wege, meist geht man auf weichen Waldwegen und -pfaden. Durch die vorbildliche Beschilderung kann man sich nicht verlaufen. Für Familien mit Kindern ab Grundschulalter ist der Weg sehr gut geeignet. Man kommt an einer verfallenen Burg vorbei und findet regelmäßig Tafeln mit Informationen, die auf für Kinder lehrreich sind. Dass auch mal ein Baum quer über dem Weg liegt, macht die Tour noch interessanter. Und falls der Nachwuchs die lange Runde noch nicht schaffen sollte, kann man die Strecke auch abkürzen. Das Naturfreundehaus ist freitags bis sonntags geöffnet. Man kann dort seht gut und günstig essen.
