View of Adolfseck

Highlight • Viewpoint

Nice rest area with a view of Adolfseck. There used to be a castle in the idyllic village next to the church. You can read what happened to her on an information board.

Former level crossing near the station

Highlight • Structure

Here, as everywhere, there is still a lot of work to be done before the trains can pass the barriers again.

Today the car-free valley beckons

'Drive to the Aar'

There is an asphalt band from Dietz to Taunusstein and the best thing is the short drive there... About 40 minutes 👍

It starts and you immediately notice that it is already well attended at 10.10 a.m., which probably also has something to do with the beautiful weather ☀️

Cycle the entire route from Taunusstein to Diez for the first time. A second time on the B54 rather not. This uncontrolled crowd.🙈
Then return via the bike path.
