Dünsberg

It is always an experience to choose these many different paths and paths to get to the mountain. A stop at the rest area or the beer garden is always planned and is almost a must ;-)

Super hiking trails. There are at least 10 different ways to hike the Dünsberg. A nice path (not signposted) can be hiked from the ski slope in Hohensolms. However, you also have to be good on foot. My favorite route is from the parking lot between Königsberg and Biebertal as a start. The second way starts for me at the Gasthaus Keltentor near Fellingshausen.

An ascent to the lookout tower should definitely be planned. When the weather is fine, the distance view is simply stunning.

Very good and cheap food. However, the hut does not open daily - check the opening times beforehand

Great hiking trail directly and indirectly up and down! Careful and consider each other with the mount bikers! Then both have a lot of fun ... :-)

Great food!
However, dogs must stay outside. But no problem when the weather is nice 😊

The Ponor and the Celtic History. A ponor, also known as a Schluckloch, in which the Wilsbach disappears but then reappears. The history of the Celts is similar

Dünsberg 497m above sea level in the Lahn-Dill mountains. Inhabited as early as the Neolithic Age and the Bronze Age (burial mounds) before the Celts.
From 700 BC Celtic settlement. There was a ring wall system with 3 ring walls, some of which can still be seen today, especially the inner wall. The settlement reached its peak in the 3rd/2nd century BC with 2000 inhabitants. 12-8 BC Conquest by Romans. Decline of Celtic settlement and culture.
In the 4th/5th century an Alemannic castle with a settlement was built

Open on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays

Steep direct climbs! Ideal as preparation for a hut tour in the Alps!
Up and down 2/3 times with full luggage ... and you feel well armed :-)

As a leisurely hike up serpentines, for training with weight in the Bolzenstrack backpack from the Obermühle to the top, there is a way up for every mood.

Recommended excursion. Unfortunately, the restaurant is currently closed (due to corona).

Video 9: The summit plateau in the area of its mighty ring wall was sparsely populated and therefore indicates its original purpose as a refuge. Be it due to a lack of water or the weather. Nevertheless, it was the best protected place in the oppidum, whoever had penetrated this far had to overcome 3 ramparts.

Always a nice hiking destination with a good rustic rest area and moderate prices

Climbing the tower is worthwhile. Great view over the surrounding area and in windy and rainy weather like today you have the feeling that the tower is shaking. A unique experience can only be recommended.
