There are perhaps even nicer nature trails, but this one leads through a fantastic forest! The forest itself would be worth a visit.

The Eppstein train station is the ideal starting point, whether you arrive by public transport or by car. The circular route itself is beautiful, although there are also a few points of criticism: the route is difficult …

August 1, 2021,Schöne Wanderung im Taunus ab Eppstein

Today I want to do a bigger tour through the beautiful Taunus. Weather perfect, 18-24 degrees and sun-cloud change. Start is at the castle in Eppstein from the 13th century. 1000 years of history can be explored in the museum. But just not possible because it is blocked. It goes towards Eppenhain, a district of Kelkheim. 3.5 km you need …

Veronika put together a really challenging tour today - for our standards. The signposted tour "Rund um Eppstein, Richard-Hofmann-Weg" of the Eppstein Beautification Association, but without Eppstein, as we have already "haunted" it on another tour. The Richard-Hofmann-Weg was established in 2006 by the beautification association and marked with the imperial temple symbol as a signpost. It is about 21 …

We started in Bremthal near the tegut and then followed the symbol with the imperial temple and the name Rundweg Eppstein in an anti-clockwise direction. After the Carla Hilda rock we left the official route to save ourselves the …
