Yes, that is a beautiful area, I still hope that nothing changes there when the Rhein-Main-Link (power line) is built along this area. Working width 75m, remove tree stand 45m keep clear forever so that the cables are not damaged by growing trees and access roads for possible repairs. Then continue through the Taunus on the north side towards Wiesbaden.

As long as you stay on the trail around the outside and don't look for stupid selfie spots, everything is in the green... but don't come in flip-flops
