Maisacher Turmsteig by Sven
May 14, 2023 · Community
Für alle die gerne wandern ist der Maisacher Turmsteig auf jeden Fall ein muss. Man sollte aber auf festes Schuhwerk achten, denn der Steig hat es ganz schön in sich. Der ein oder andere Anstieg ist ziemlich knackig. Ich bin in die Richtung gelaufen, wie es die App abgibt. Wenn man anders herum läuft, sollte man sich auf einen steilen Anstieg einstellen.
