March 1, 2023,Ulrichstein: Weitblicktour Ulrichstein [Premium-Wanderweg]

"A 12 km long circular route to the most beautiful vantage points and interesting points around Ulrichstein. Magnificent deciduous forests and small-scale meadow landscapes, the romantic "Grduchen" in the valley and the flower meadows of the Vogelsberggarten make this route an unforgettable hiking experience. The highlight at the end of the hike is the Schlossberg with castle ruins and a …

I would say... We made perfect use of the weekend 🥾🎒☀️

After yesterday's tour in the Odenwald, today we went to the Vogelsberg again. What a great tour!

Parked in Ulrichstein and then basically around the town. The tour is officially called Weitblickrunde Ulrichstein and that fits.

January 26, 2025,VHC-Weitblicktour Ulrichstein

Today the Laubacher VHC members were in Ulrichstein, the city with a view. For our annual winter hike we had chosen the Vogelsberg extra tour "Weitblicktour". Unfortunately there was no sign of winter. The wind and weather made us feel more like we were out and about in late autumn. But no matter, the hike was beautiful and we had …

April 12, 2025,Unterwegs - Weitblicktour Ulrichstein

Ulrichstein is the highest mountain town in Hesse, with its center at an elevation of 500 meters. A fortified castle once stood on the proud Schloßberg hill around which the town nestles. This castle is older than the town itself. The town's origins date back to the last major period of land clearing, which dates from the 11th to the …

December 29, 2024,VB "Weitblicktour Ulrichstein"

The last Sunday hike in 2024 😄
I did the extra tour in foggy conditions (-2 degrees). It runs along the Jewish Trail in parts. The sun ⛅️ also came out briefly every now and then. The tour itself is nothing special 🤷‍♀️, but you'll probably have great views when the weather is nice 😜
The highlight is actually just …
