    Wie der Autor und ein Rezensient schreiben ist diese kleine Tour technisch anspruchsvoll, nicht zu unterschätzen und m.E. mitnichten als "leicht" einzustufen, zumal sie auf den Wegeweisern auch als "schwarz" und somit schwer bezeichnet wird.

    Tolle Radrunde, aussichtsreich, Naturerlebnis, Asphalt & Schotter wechseln sich ab. Wir sind sie bei praller Sonne und 30°C gefahren - war trotzdem sehr angenehm, da schattige Wege und meist nah an Wertach und Vils.

    Superschöne Tour mit tollen Panoramablicken. Die "Kraxelstellen", von denen es sowohl bergauf, als auch bergab einige gibt, sind gut machbar. Man muss halt konzentriert sein.

    Sehr schöne und aussichtsreiche Tour auf meist guten Wegen oder abgelegen Strässchen. Wir sind die Runde mit E-Moutainbikes in die andere Richtung gefahren, die teils steilen, längeren Anstiege waren damit kein Problem

    Tolle Route! Hat viel Spaß gemacht. Auf den Wegen war wenig los. Da es in der Woche vor unserer Tour Neuschnee gab, gab es insbesondere um den Grünten noch einige Stellen bei denen die Straße noch mit Schnee bedeckt war. Aber war auch schaffbar. Auf dem Rückweg sind wir eine abweichende Route über Gunzesried gefahren und über einen Waldweg zurück zum Hotel.

    Schöne kleine Runde, kann man auch mit Kindern gut machen. Abwechslungsreich und mit guten Weitblicken über das Alpenvorland. Bei Neuschnee eher 3 Stunden lang. Der angegebene Anfangspunkt war nicht geräumt, wir haben dann in Nesselwang geparkt, das sind ca. 1,5km pro Weg extra. Es gibt aber auch kurz vorher ein Gasthaus.
