Theiß Valley near Niedernhausen

In itself very beautiful.
Only the noise from the BAB and the train can spoil the mood, at least in the front part of the valley.

Nice view of Naurod and the Rhine plain, you can rest for a while on the bench with this beautiful view.

The rectangular observation tower is 20 meters high. Inside, over 100 stone steps lead to a covered viewing platform. From here the view extends over the Rhine-Main area to the Odenwald, Palatinate Forest and North Palatinate Bergland with the Donnersberg.

September 2, 2023,Theißtalsee (Waldsee) – Theißbach Runde von Niedernhausen (Taunus)

Rambachtal meadows are impassable, the path is not recognizable and in one place completely overgrown with blackberries and nettles. So we …
