Steinkopf TV Tower

Highlight • Monument

The television tower on the Steinkopf is a wonderful place to take a break and to start various descents, provided you have enough breath to climb up

Kapersburg Roman Fort

Highlight • Historical Site

What fell victim to agriculture elsewhere is well preserved in the forests of the Hessian Taunus. Rome's military fortifications, such as the Kapersburg near Rosbach vor der Höhe, give an …

Roman Watchtower on Gaulskopf

Highlight • Monument

Wonderful as a stage destination. On the one hand a great view of the Wetterau, on the other hand the green area behind the tower offers space for a picnic.

The "Marienkapellen Trail" really has it all. Quite harmless at the top (S0 ... S1) .... it becomes significantly steeper at the bottom, and considerably more demanding due to rocks and scree (more S2)!

August 17, 2025,Anlässlich der Veranstaltung des RC Edelweiss Rundfahrt im Heimischen Wald 🚵🏼🚵🏼‍♂️👌🏼👌🏼

Like every year, we were at the start of the RC Edelweiss! A brilliantly signposted tour through our local area, so we even included a few extra trails. 🔝The organization with the two aid stations was top-notch 👌🏼 We'll be there again next year 👈🏼🙋🏻‍♂️

–––––––––––––––––
Played the guide again today and unpacked and followed a tour from neoclassic 1, this time in the countryside: komoot.de/tour/977607216

Despite a flat tire caused by a nasty thorn, it was always a beautiful, exciting and cool trail tour over the Winterstein, Kransberg and FFH Ober-Mörlen area.

September 3, 2025,Bunker Erkundungstour Ziegenberg

The legendary Wednesday round was underway again. This time we went through the very best Vogeltal valley, which apparently can only be driven through at high speed 😂. Then up the mountain on the other side towards the bunker, or rather the rest of it. Great & fast Wednesday round 🚵🏼‍♂️🚵🏼‍♂️🚵🏼‍♂️...thanks to my fellow riders @Manuela B + @Santa Mik, …

August 27, 2024,Hochtaunus: Trails Winterstein-Kransberg

Today we discovered a new corner of the Hintertaunus with a guide @Helius FFM.

From Rosbach we went past the Limes and the Roman Kastelbad Kapersburg up the mountain.

A very varied tour in terms of scenery with great views of the Hintertaunus, Kransberg Castle and Frankfurt. There was also a bunker from WW2 (lost place) on the way.

After a long break, I did another round with @Step-n-Go. The same applies to the Winterstein area.

And that is the almost identical repetition of a tour from the Neoklassik II collection from 2023 (komoot.com/de-de/collection/1866955/-hochtaunus-neoklassik-season-2) - a journey through time from Roman times (Limes and Kapersburg) through the Middle Ages (Marienkapelle and Kransberg) to the 20th century (WW II - …
