The Kuckucksweg is another of the grandiose extra tours in the Lahn-Dill-Bergland. Once you have climbed out of Eibach, the path leads over high meadows, partly also high heathland, sometimes through light-flooded deciduous forests, sometimes through dark coniferous forests even in bright sunshine. And again and again there are these wonderful panoramic views over the countless hilltops. A real pleasure …

today we unfortunately had a bit of bad luck with the weather - it rained every now and then.
But it stopped just in time for the snack / lunch break - what more could you want!
The path is very nice to walk - parts of the forest alternate with not so great views today ... definitely worth it. …

A super wonderful round from Eibach on the Kuckucksweg extra tour.. fantastic weather, great paths to walk, beautiful views and above all the great trees along the whole path.. took a leisurely break at the Kanzelstein and drank a coffee, enjoying the lovely warm rays of sunshine 🙂 a great day😉

Today I walked the Cuckoo Trail in 22°C sunshine.
I think it's smoother, easier, and more enjoyable walking the right way.

We didn't see or hear a "cuckoo". Nevertheless, the tour was quite nice, with many out and distant views.
Like all Lahn-Dill mountain tours so far, excellent trail markings and easily walkable trails/paths, although today (due to yesterday's rain) it was a bit damp.
Recommended for tracking.

Walked the Cuckoo Trail again in perfect hiking weather (15°-18°) and light clouds.
Fox, hare and deer were too fast for the camera.
