A beautiful route partly through Kronberg, but mostly through the local forests.
Mostly on paved paths. Basic fitness is required, but the route should be doable for everyone at any time of year.

October 26, 2024,Kronberger Spaziergang (S-Kronberg/Taunus - S-Kronberg/Taunus)

Tour 11 from the Rother hiking guide "Around Frankfurt".
Today I headed towards Frankfurt, as the concert by the Belgian EBM group Front 242 was scheduled for this evening in the Langen town hall.
Nice little tour, although I found the Hardtberg tower the most exciting. The concert in the evening was really good too.

Komoot had originally planned the tour through the Opel Zoo. This is possible as there are entrances and exits on both sides, but you have to plan extra time and the entrance fees. I think the Opel Zoo is more for children.

The very best hiking weather was forecast for the last day in April. We had chosen the Taunus as a rough target. Quickly put together a tour around Mammolshain, which later turned out to be a hit. The only slight criticism comes from the partly muddy spots in the sweet Grundy, which can be easily avoided by a parallel path, …

In very summery temperatures with EmWe to the Hardtberg Tower. It's so new we could still smell the paint. An impressive building!
The Kneipp pool at the end of the tour was pure bliss!

We had a lot of fun on our hike today. The weather was dry and the temperatures were perfect. Because of fallen trees, we had to do a few extra climbs and it was a bit of a whirlwind. We laughed a lot because sometimes it went better and sometimes worse. At the end, we rewarded ourselves at the ice …
