    Eine sehr schöne Tour, teilweise durch wenig befahrene kleine Straßen. Nur die Einstufung als Leicht würde ich überdenken. Es gibt zwei oder drei Serpentinen die ich einem Anfänger nicht empfehlen würde.

    Schöne Tour und viele Kurven. Typisch Eifel eben. Ein Waldorf liegt bei mir um die Ecke, deshalb war es endlich mal Zeit die Tour zu fahren.

    Beschreibung und Illustration des Weges sind ausführlich und 100% zutreffend. Der Weg ist angenehm zu gehen. Die Waldstücke vor Wehr und Maria Laach sind sehr schön. Ansonsten weite Blicke über die Landschaft der Osteifel, incl. Wehrer Kessel. In Wehr säumen viele schöne Tuffsteingebäude den Weg. Auf einem Teilstück des Weges ist etwas Lärm durch die Autobahn 61 zu hören.

    Wir haben am 22.6.22 die Eifel Tour Marienburg gemacht und sind sehr begeistert. Startpunkt in Mayen, Vormittags noch auf leeren Straßen an der Mosel vorbei. Die Moselschleife haben wir geschlabbert, die kennen wir schon. Am Ring eine zusätzliche Pause gemacht, den Rennfahren zugeschaut. GvLG die Globetrottel

    Durchaus sehr schöne, anspruchsvolle Tour. Kulturell sehr interessant und durch die Verbindung mit den Traumpfaden. Nur vier Sterne, da für meinen Geschmack in Summe zu viel „Waldautobahnen“, Asphalt und wenig Pfade. Bin mit Pausen ca. 8,5 Stunden sportlich gewandert.

    Die Beschilderung ist nicht ideal! Ansonsten: Die Tour ist super und bietet nicht nur ein wenig auf und ab sondern such vereinzelnd schöne Vista Punkte. Einzig die Dauer stimmt nicht ganz, wir haben (mit zwei Umwegen) knapp 2:45 Stunden benötigt.
