    Wirklich toller, abwechslungsreicher Wanderweg - für uns Laien zusammen mit knapp 30 Grad recht anspruchsvoll. ;-) Fiel unwissentlich mit dem 15. Nette-Schiefer Wandertag zusammen. Zum Abschluss konnten wir deshalb auf dem 'netten' Pfingstfest noch ein kühles Bierchen genießen! :-)

    dieser Traumpfad hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Auf meist schmalen Pfaden geht es zu vielen tollen Aussichtspunkten. Der Weg war sehr gut gepflegt und ausgeschildert.

    So ein super schön angelegter Traumpfad!!!Ein großes Lob an den mit Herzblut arbeitenden Wegpaten*****vom Wasserfall und Verlauf der Nette über fast alpine Steige, zeigt sich der Pfad sehr abwechslungsreich auch an Flora und Fauna. Vom Schwarzstorch über den Schwalbenschwanz, Natternkopf und Resede war es für uns der schönste der Traumpfade. Nur zu empfehlen ‼️
