    Super schöne, aber auch anstrengende Tour. ...auch wenn es „nur“ rund 585 Höhenmeter bei etwas mehr als 10km sind.

    Ich kenne die Rouwas Schlucht schon viele Jahre und bin sie immer am selben Weg rauf und runter gegangen. Wir haben es gestern mal wie von euch vorgeschlagen (und beim See auch angeschrieben) als Runde probiert. Ich finde ihr solltet den Rückweg etwas beschreiben. Es war zunächst schwierig zu finden und durch diverse Zähne notwendig ein paar mal hin und zurück zu gehen. Außerdem gibt beim Kloster keine Möglichkeit (mehr) vorbei zu kommen und man muss Richtung Zaros weit marschieren oder halb legal am Weg nach dem Kloster durch eine Touristenbungalow Siedlung, um zum See zurück zu kommen. Außerdem ist der Rückweg Richtung Kloster vom Ziegenhirten (der dort auch wohnen dürfte) zu einer Schotterstraße ausgebaut, die verglichen mit dem Aufstieg wenig Charme aufweist. Zusätzlich wird man am Rückweg teilweise darauf hingewiesen (mit einem roten X), dass es KEIN Weg (mehr) für die Allgemeinheit ist. Somit: Aufstieg Top, Abstieg Flop. Besser hin- und retour am selben Weg.
