July 10, 2022,Wisper Trail - Der Überhöhische

A beautiful tour through forest and field! In Fischbach you can fortify yourself at the food vending machine and fill up the water supplies at the acidulous fountain.

Another whisper trail.💐
I like the trails because they are very well signposted and maintained. They also offer variety in terms of terrain, underground and nature. The Exalted lives up to its name. Beautiful vision 👍

June 13, 2026,2026-30 heute mal den Horizont erweitern 😁😉🫶

Since my 2nd bike unexpectedly wanted to go to the workshop 🤬🤮, today it was off to 🦶. A short ride was quickly found close to home. I must confess, there's something about 🥾 🫶. I haven't been this relaxed in a long time, and that on partly familiar paths.
The "Überhönische" loop was very well signposted and also varied. …

October 16, 2025,16.10.25 Wisper Trail: "Der Überhöhische" - Herbstwanderung im Viehweideland

In the Middle Ages, Hausen and Fischbach were among the 15 "Überhöhische Dorfen" (Overhigh Villages), poor towns separated from the more affluent Rheingau by the hills and not yet located in the Einrich region. Hence the name of this Wisper Trail. While the hike also led through forests, it mostly passed through meadows, pastures, and paddocks. Numerous horses and cattle, …

May 4, 2022,Mittwochsfrauenpower: Überhöhische-Wispertrail/Hausen v.d.H. 4.0

And once again I am amazed by the beautiful landscape in the Wispertaunus!!!

There were 2 really high-spirited statements today 😂
Barbara (former educator): If a woman works in the crèche for years, she becomes a 🐖. Barbara had messed herself up while eating.
Antje: women need to drink a lot when hiking, especially when we talk so much!

January 21, 2024,Wispertrail - Der Überhöhische

Today the hike started at -7°C, but with an absolute blanket of snow. A really great hike, especially in the months when there is a lot of snow. A few highlights today were the fact that I tested my spikes (not quite like crampons, but they go in that direction). I have to say that for the little money the …

April 3, 2022,Der Überhöhische (Version Winter)

To be honest, I would not have believed that we would do another winter hike at the beginning of April 2022. But actually, yesterday we made our way home in front of the height in cold but dry weather, where we tackled the "Überhöheischen", one of the Wispertrails.

May 6, 2023,Wisper Trail "Der Überhöhische"

Today our tour took us to the west of the Taunus on the Wisper Trail - the overly high one.
We started in Hausen in front of the height at the parking lot at the fire brigade. The circular hiking trail is well signposted and can't really be missed. So we followed the blue slides over meadows and forests and …
