View of Marienthal and Ruppertsecken

Highlight • Viewpoint

A very nice view over the gently rolling hills a little way south of the village Marienthal at the edge of the forest.
Two large benches and a table in the direction invite you to linger and rest.

The suggestion for this hike came from @Chantal & Milo 🐶🌄❤️. Chantal was on this trail in April 2025. I shortened the tour to suit my needs, but where I walked, Chantal had also been. And I really can't imagine that she liked the eternal forest highways. I should have asked beforehand.

Last night we decided to stay close again due to the bad weather forecast and so we did our rounds on the Kastanienweg on Donnersberg. Wonderful, highlight-rich hike, no rain🤗... everything was done right.

However, some sections are heavily rooted and there are loose stones and rubble lying around in places. I therefore recommend good surefootedness. You should also …

Adlerbogen...I had to visit it again. I had been planning the Kastanienweg for a while and it was recommended to me. The weather was perfect and so was the timing...nobody was at the Adlerbogen, so we were able to enjoy the time.

...and finally I followed him!
After I drive past the Donnersberg almost every day, it has somehow never worked out with a hike.
Since I'm still on vacation this week, I really wanted to make up for it.
The circular hiking trail Dannenfels No. 4 served me as a tour template. But the first half of the route was more …
