January 23, 2024,Aartal - "Justinusfelsen & Burg Hohenstein" 🏰

From the penguin step, to the Muscovy duck, to the slowworm, I had to pull out all the stops in my hiking technique.
The first 12km were on the Aarhöhenweg. From Adolfseck, past …

February 13, 2024,Aartal - Runde um 🏰 Burg Hohenstein

Today I was out and about in the Aar Valley again on sections of the Aar High Trail. This tour has beautiful passages along the Aar and around Hohenstein Castle, but overall falls into the category that you can do, but you don't have to.

February 26, 2023,Aar-Höhenweg mit Burgruine Hohenstein/Adolfseck 2.0

I hiked here before in August 2021. Starting point back then in Lindschied and contrary to today's running direction.

Mainly forest roads and longer asphalt roads have to be mastered here.

After 7 km and a good ascent there is a small hut that invites you to take a break.

Beautiful circular hiking trail around Burg-Hohenstein with the typical AAR-BERGEN. So a constant up and down.
