July 5, 2026,15 - Taunus Extrem

The varied tour from Eppstein to Wildsachsen, into the Lorsbachtal and over the Staufen is equipped with lonely forest paths and beautiful views.

Despite the ban on sports, a round through the forest was simply a must. Okay, the scar on my foot is pinching a bit now, but the beautiful route with great views makes up for it.
