Hiking

A wonderful hike with great views and a wonderful landscape. This tour owes its name to the inhabitants of Eibach, who, according to history, received land holdings that were not theirs.

A historical form of pastoralism can be seen in the Kanzelstein nature reserve. On the way there are orchards, old wild cherry trees and traces of iron ore mining, which shaped the region for centuries. An all-round successful tour!

March 5, 2022,Der Kuckucksweg

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 …

August 27, 2021,HE: Lahn-Dill-Bergland - Extratour Kuckucksweg - rund um Eibach

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. …

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.
