Schöne Wanderung mit praktisch gelegenen und leckeren Einkehrmöglichkeiten, abwechslungsreichen Passagen und tollen Ausblicken. Allerdings sollte insbesondere beim Abstieg von der Hofer Alpl nach Ums auf trittfestes Schuhwerk verwiesen werden. Mit unserer Tochter (2,5 Jahre alt) auf dem Rücken war es gerade so an der Grenze mit Wanderstöcken. Eine Wanderung der Kategorie „leicht“ war es zumindest in diesem Abschnitt definitiv nicht. Außerdem sind es am Ende des Tages ganze 2 km mehr Wegstrecke gewesen, bitte verbessern.
