Mit viel Schnee finde ich die präparierte Strecke sehr leicht zu laufen und auch immer wieder hübsch anzusehen. Ich bin von 14-17 Uhr gegangen und mir sind an einem Samstag gerade mal eine Handvoll Menschen begegnet- sehr angenehm! Klar sind hin und wieder Stellen mit den Toten Bäumen, aber die Perspektive macht’s ;)
