Hünstein Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

In my opinion the best camouflaged observation tower in the region. It is still worth climbing up, as the distant view is not yet completely overgrown and an almost full …

October 2, 2021,Extratour Gladenbacher Berglandring
It all started with this tour at the end of October 2020, since I started the tour, I got the wandering fever and am now regularly hiking, first I hiked the Lahn-Dill-Bergland tours little by little, then looked for hikes in the network and also found very beautiful.
After some initial difficulties, I think it's working out quite well, my …

Again a beautiful premium hiking trail.
We had changed direction to have the shadier part in the afternoon.
Lots of nature, always beautiful views and hardly anyone on the way

In principle, the route is not bad, but it mostly goes along wide forest paths.

Highlights are the old Hünstein observation tower - built entirely of wood - with a summit book at the top. Of course we left a little entry!

The old quarry and the path through the "Hinterland Switzerland" are also worth seeing.

This weekend, my search for Hesse's most beautiful circular hiking trails took me into the so-called "hinterland".

The extra tour "Gladenbacher Berglandring", which is well signposted and well advertised by the Lahn-Dill-Bergland Nature Park, turned out to be a real tour of discovery. There is always something new to experience here - boredom? Not a chance! Everywhere along the route …

Wonderful round with all the trimmings.
Start in Gladenbach via Rachelshausen up to the Hünsteinturm Inn Holzhausen. Then a few meters to the old diabase quarry in Rachelshausen. From there again over forest and field. At the end it goes to the Gladenbacher Schweiz with an impressive rocky landscape. Excellent signposted round!

I drove home in bright sunshine, when I arrived in Gladenbach it was snowing heavily 😅
Luckily it stopped after the first kilometer and the sun was strong and full.


A really very nice round with two tour book places and a lot of prospects.
Absolutely fantastic views up to the Dünsberg and much further.

Watch Gladenbacher Berglandring (15-20) on Relive! relive.cc/view/vDqgKW8KeVq

The Kneipp pool at the end is unfortunately dry 😢
At the end to the ice cream parlor San Marino to recharge your batteries 🍨
