    Ich habe einen Abstecher zum Brombachsee in Enderndorf hinzugefügt. Das hat sich gelohnt.

    Es ist immer wieder schön im Fränkischen Seenland unterwegs zu sein. Es lohnt sogar einen kleinen Abstecher über Pleinfeld zur Sommerrodelbahn zu machen.

    Sehr schöne Tour und sehr zu empfehlen. Die GPX-Daten stimmen insbesondere zwischen dem Altmühlsee und dem kleinen Bronbachsee stimmen nicht. Die Fahrradwege sind allerdings sehr gut ausgeschildert und auch hier findet man den richtigen Weg so sehr gut. Die Wege am Ufer des großen und kleinen Brombachsees sind z. T. sehr stark frequentiert von Fußgängern oder Badegästen, weshalb es die meiste Zeit separate Fuß- und Radwege gibt, was sehr angenehm ist.

    Sehr schöne, abwechslungsreiche und gut angelegte Tour. Vor allem der Teil entlang des Brombachsees landschaftlich sehr reizvoll. Es sind sehr viele Eindrücke und unterschiedliche Streckenabschnitte (Wald, kleine Ortschaften und Felder und Wiesen), die die Tour abwechslungsreich machen. Es gibt ein paar kräftige Steigungen zu bewältigen, die aber mit E-Bikes kein Problem sind. Vielen Dank an den Autor. Die Tour hat uns gut gefallen.

    Tolle Runde! Bin ich vor vielen Jahren bereits gefahren, aber immer wieder schön. Wer möchte, kann die Tour an verschiedenen Stellen abkürzen. Ein großer Teil der Strecke ist schattig, also auch im Hochsommer angenehm.
