Beautiful resting place with a refuge on the upper reaches of the Wisper.

Ergenstein Summit

Highlight • Summit

The district boundaries of Schönborn and Hahnstätten meet on the Ergenstein. There used to be a lookout point here, but it is now overgrown. The Hahnstätter Heimat- und Verschönerungsverein has erected a shelter at this spot. Immediately next to the hut, a path leads to the boundary stone, which is about 150 meters away. There are also other paths that lead to the boundary stone. It is best to look out for the small wooden arrows that are on the trees.

Limes Hiking Hostel Hunzel

Highlight • Mountain Hut

hhv-hunzel.de
18.50 € for an overnight stay in a large converted farmhouse, with much effort and diligent helpers of the home club. One sleeps "like grandma" and who can not remember his childhood and felt at home in grandma's house with many old furniture and oddities! Gossip a bit with Ellen, a great woman who initiated the whole thing. Incidentally, her husband also bakes sourdough bread, which I have noticed as a way to eat! Like to take the shuttle service. It's just wonderful to meet so much kindness and disinterestedness. Dear Ellen Many thanks for the "Hunzeler Schmunzelstein" I was (in hindsight) far too fast away again.

Neglected for years. Tried again on April 4th, 2025. Gave up and pushed the bike back up 50 meters of elevation gain. Impassable, even with a regular bike. No way. Such a shame... who can be contacted to do something about it? According to the municipality, it's privately owned.

Very nice route along the water. There is a rest area with benches at Jammertal. There are generally a few places to sit. You have to expect muddy terrain.

Perfect for a break with children. Lots of space to romp.

Böttcher's rest. Always great to look down into the valley above Hexenmüllersplatz. And hardly anyone is on the road.
