Bench with a view over the Hansenwiesen valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

“Shall we go and hear Hersch?” people used to say to their loved ones in Espenschied when they wanted to be all alone with her. The secluded benches with a view over the whisper forests were particularly popular for this... for listening to deer! And indeed, at the right time of year, you can experience the dueling roar of the deer on this hidden bank.

Rocky outcrop in the Taunus

Highlight • Viewpoint

A short detour to a pointed rock pulpit - only those who are not afraid of heights and are sure-footed should venture forward.

Espenschied

Highlight • Settlement

Espenschied is the sunny climatic health resort in the Wispertal and was first mentioned in a town directory in 1187 by Archbishop Konrad von Mainz. The climatic health resort lies like a sun terrace 450 meters high in the Rheingau-Taunus Nature Park. The south-facing slope and the mild south-west currents on the one hand, and the foothills of the Taunus mountains with lots of forest on the other hand, give Espenschied a healthy, healing climate.

Today we tackled the last two Wispertrails circular routes of the 15 in total. The Via Monte Preso and the Wispertaler Krönchen.

Actually...yes actually it was definitely too warm for hiking today 🥵. But the date was set a long time ago. So the "girls on tour" chose a walk 🤭. On the way there were also a lot of benches that all wanted to be tested 😊... so it took us a good 3 hours for the almost 6 km 🙈. …

Start at the hiking car park in Espenschied, easily recognizable by the Wispertrail flag.
The large car park is free and has seating with a table and a small shelter from the weather. There is also a toilet at the car park.
Nice little tour through fields and woodland. Sometimes you have to take a detour if pastures are closed, …

The saying goes that the grass is greener on the other side. Unfortunately, after the heat wave, it's already pretty burnt yellow...
