Suddenly, quartz rocks rise almost vertically from the ground here. You can climb them or just admire them. Depending on the sunlight, they change their appearance. Simply a great view …

February 13, 2022,013 Wernborn, Runde über Hessenkopf und Eschbacher Klippen

We started today's hike in Wernborn, a district of Usingen in the Hochtaunus district. At the beginning we crossed the B275 and the Usa river, before then going uphill until we finally reached the Hessenkopf viewpoint at an altitude of 325 m. After a short descent we reached the Silbersee via the forest path. Then we went over fields and …

Another great hike during the Easter holidays 2022. The last 4 km are only through open terrain and a gentle uphill climb. If higher temperatures are expected in the afternoon, consider doing the hike in the opposite direction!

Tackled the long-awaited visit to the Wetterau today... so that it doesn't get too hot for us, I left really early this morning...we had been looking at the Eschbacher cliffs for a long time, a really worthwhile destination... the first half of the Tour was (except for the cliffs) but then a bit bland... the second half was really nice, …

I've hiked around the cliffs and the 🏰 so many times in the last few years. And yet I still don't know all the ways. In any case, we went new ways today.
And the weather forecast was right: it was raining heavily on the way there, but by the time the hike started, the rain had eased, only to …

January 6, 2024,005/2024: Eschbacher Klippen

Since I didn't know the Eschbach cliffs yet, I went on a hike there today. Well, actually we wouldn't have needed 16 kilometers to do it, but the highlight comes at the end, so it took a while to get there. Today the motto for the hike was: "If you want beautiful paths, you have to go to the Zeil …

The 9th of us set off today, accompanied by 4 🐕. 3 of us didn't know the Eschbach cliffs yet. This educational gap had to be closed.
We had to climb over many tree trunks and crawl under them. We couldn't walk the beautiful trail along the fish farm, there are countless fat 🌳 there.
And just as I felt …
