September 23, 2021,Der Gundelpfad – Kaisertempel Runde von Eppstein

I had wanted to run the Gundel Path tour for a long time, but I wasn't sure whether my condition was sufficient for it.

The circular route begins directly at the parking lot of the Eppstein train station (free parking👍🏻).
The last picture is basically the beginning and is not so easy to find because everything is overgrown = natural. …

The start of this beautiful tour is at the Eppstein train station, from there it goes through the old town up to the castle.
Unfortunately, it is currently completely closed due to renovation work, but the bypass through the moat is also well worth seeing.
On the outskirts, things really get down to business: the steepest ascent of the entire …

January 15, 2023,20230115 Taunus: Lorsbach - Bahaí Tempel - Kaisertempel - Staufen - Gundelpfad

This morning we once again doubted whether we should even leave the house today. But the weather forecast promised improvement from the north-west in the afternoon, so we set off around half past eleven. Direction "good weather." In fact, it stayed dry and there was also some sun. Today, the otherwise unloved forest highways and sometimes asphalt paths were the …
