Wie schön, dass der Weg wieder restauriert wurde. Super gekennzeichnet. Vielen Dank dafür! Jetzt im Frühjahr wirkt der Kahlschlag nicht mehr so schlimm, außerdem gibt es viele neue Aussichten.

Schön, dass es hauptsächlich über schmale Pfade geht. Sehr gut ausgeschildert. Aber leider, wie fast im gesamten Siegerland, führt der Weg mittlerweile zu 3/4 über Kahlschlagsflächen, was besonders zu dieser Jahreszeit sehr trostlos wirkt.
Möglicherweise kann im Frühjahr blühender Ginster das etwas schöner erscheinen lassen.

Die Tour hat uns aufgrund des hohen Pfadanteils und wegen der schönen Aussicht von den Trödelsteinen sehr gut gefallen. Allerdings muss man unserer Meinung nach ein Pünktchen abziehen wegen der enormen Rodungen. Dennoch empfehlenswert!
