    Eine wirklich schöne Tour, 90% Asphalt, perfekt für Gravel- oder Tourenräder. Für Rennrad eher nicht geeignet, die Schotterstrecken sind teilweise auch mit scharfem Split/Schotter. Sehr wenig Autoverkehr, wir fuhren am Karsamstag.

    Landschaftlich zum Ende hin immer toller werdend. Die km Angabe und die Höhenmeter stimmen nicht, sind beides mehr, da die Tour nicht genau am Radweg entlang führt!!
