Sehr tolle Tour nicht zu Anspruchsvoll. Achtung am Etang de la Grueyere ist Rad Fahrverbot. Entweder schieben oder Weg ausserhalb nehmen.

Die ersten vier Kilometer sind wunderschön. Der Abstecher zum Aussichtspunkt ist jeden Meter wert. Absolutes Highlight der Tour. Danach geht es lange bergab und mit dem Wissen dies alles wieder hochlaufen zu müssen etwas unangenehm. Trotzdem war es eine schöne Runde und der Aufstieg halb so schlimm wie befürchtet.

Sehr schöne Jurawanderung mit Wiesen, viel Wald, Pferde, Kühe usw. - Ist zu empfehlen. - Die Zeitangabe mit etwas mehr als 4 h stimmt exakt, wenn man ein paar Mal inne hält und die Natur geniesst und sich vertieft in gewisse Details am Wegrand. - Start ab "Les Reusilles" gemacht. Genügend Parkplatz vorhanden.
