Dhaun Castle

Highlight • Castle

Great layout of Schloss Dhaun, whose walls are freely accessible. The cellar dungeons over several floors, which can be accessed in a stooped position, are funny. There is also a …

I think the photos speak for themselves, there's nothing more to say. It almost feels like you're on vacation 😃 except that I have to work tomorrow.

Thanks to @Manuela 📸, from whom I got the inspiration for this hike. She incorporated a small section of the Vitaltour Drei-Burgen-Weg, so that the Kirner "Dolomiten" can be hiked. Picture 30 shows the ascent to the "Dolomiten", which I didn't dare to attempt today. Emmi (🐕) is not used to such alpine terrain and my knee is acting up …

May 15, 2025,Vitaltour Wildgrafenweg und Kirner Dolomiten

On tour with @Manuela 📸 , who chose a very beautiful tour, and @Iris . Starting in Hochstetten-Dhaun, we followed the "Hildegard von Bingen Pilgrimage Trail" and the "Vital Tour," which run partly parallel. The first highlights, besides beautiful views, were the St. Johannisberg Collegiate Church and the Skywalk, which we reached after a good 700 m. Continuing on the …

June 2, 2024,🇩🇪 Vitaltour Wildgrafenweg (Hochstetten-Dhaun)

Another round... Well, I'm slowly getting tired of it!!
This time we went on the "neighborhood vitality tour," and so we saw the campsite, eagle owl lookout and raven's pulpit, where we were yesterday, from the other side of Dhaun Castle. The highlight was the Skywalk, as well as Dhaun Castle, where "Prince Fiete" was of course carried "royally."

April 22, 2026,Vitaltour Wildgrafenweg (Hochstetten-Dhaun)

Our tour today started in Johannisberg. We had many beautiful paths and great distant views again. Only a section of approx. 2 km (in the area of the photovoltaic systems) was difficult to walk due to gravel. Our highlight today was Dhaun Castle 🏰. The rest of the way back to Johannisberg was varied with paths, panorama trails and finally …

The deer jumps high, the deer jumps far, why not? It has time. (Heinz Erhardt)
We, @Iris, @Michael F, and I, took that time today, too.
Our tour took us along great paths through a charming landscape to interesting buildings such as a skywalk, the Brunkenstein ruins, Dhaun Castle, and the former St. Johannisberg collegiate church.
In addition to culture …

May 26, 2022,Vitaltour Wildgrafenweg - bei Hochstetten-Dhaun

After we liked the vitality tours around Kirn so much 2 weeks ago, we made up for the missing "Wildgrafenweg" today (unfortunately without blooming rape fields 😢).
The tour is significantly enhanced by the highlights: Dhaun Castle, Brunkenstein ruins and near Skywalk.
Otherwise, the tour offers mostly beautiful paths and great views. Some long, steep sections require some fitness.
Definitely …

October 17, 2026,Die letzte Rille zwischen dem Nahe-Skywalk und Schloss Dhaun

Unfortunately, the weather let us down a bit, despite the favorable forecast. Instead of dry weather, there were several showers or drizzle. But every now and then the sun also made an appearance. The 'letzte Rille' is not deterred by such trifles anyway.

We have braved the weather on all tours in this collection: komoot.com/de-de/collection/4050217/-radtouren-und-wanderungen-mit-der-letzten-rille
