Given the difficult-to-predict thunderstorm mood this weekend, my hiking focus remains on the Taunus, as before. This time I'll reach Hattsteinweiher and Eschbacher Klippen using a @FAZ hiking tip and they are, as always, a worthwhile destination.

Today, as always, I don't lack the urge to move, but since I exceptionally don't feel like a longer ride e.g. into the Wetterau or the Westerwald, I ultimately decide again for love, i.e. a lap in the green belt of my beloved city Wetzlar. In the end, I take a first brief look at the new Lahnpromenade

So now the Taunushöhenweg is also history, although strictly speaking I finish it on the Rheinsteig, which I turn onto shortly before the destination. Before that, it goes through the lonely forests of the Wispertaunus and the beautiful villages of Ransel and Sauerthal. The trail was definitely worth

After checking in and dinner, a short walk in Rüdesheim to stretch our legs.

The penultimate stage of my hiking holidays on the Taunushöhenweg largely runs on wide forest paths, but they are anything but monotonous overall. The approximately 20 km pass by again in no time. After an overnight stay in Rüdesheim, tomorrow I will take the bus back to Forsthaus Weißenthurm and from

It looks promising that my plan is working to finish the Taunushöhenweg on this long dream weekend.

I did a similar tour a few years ago with a colleague from the hinterland, among others. Today, we're taking a few people on this wonderfully scenic loop again, on paths that I've also enjoyed on the Lahn-Dill-Bergland-Pfad in the meantime, this time in exactly the optimal external conditions that I love.

My hiking week on my doorstep and along the Taunusbahn ends today with a @FAZ - hiking tip from Oberursel-Hohemark, from where I have mostly been out in the winter half of the year so far. Together with the Seulberg tour on Thursday, this ice saint week did bring back spring feelings, at least visually.

The Südbahnhof in Frankfurt, which was closed due to a police operation, the onward journey of the trains at that time, and the still bracing morning atmosphere make me turn back, and the planned Odenwald hike turns into another tour along the Taunusbahn, fitting for this somewhat bumpy week. Which is

My feel-good community in the Taunus doesn't let me down today either! With a first unmotivated glance out the window at the dark grey smudges of the "cold Sophie" in the sky, I first consider staying put today, but then I pull myself together, decide on a forest hike on often-walked paths, and am rewarded

Given the gloomy weather forecasts, I struggle for a long time to find a suitable holiday tour, but the decision for another round through the Kirdorfer Feld, among other places, turns out to be spot on. The sun even shows its face most of the time, and the rain shower shortly before the end passes quickly

Today, defying the unpredictability of the Ice Saints, who are in a bad mood and "enjoying" their "annual vacation" with us, forcing me to forgo my own long panoramic tours, I at least took a short round through my feel-good community in the Taunus before going shopping.

The visit of the Ice Saints and my hiking ambitions this week don't quite fit together, so it will probably only be enough for a few "movement therapy measures in weak outdoor lighting" right outside the door. However, on my tour through the neighboring municipality, which I actually wanted to do yesterday

On the last day of a great hiking week, we first take a bus to just before the destination of the Via Algarviana, but only meet its marking a few meters before Cabo de São Vicente again. Before that, we walk in a large arc along the scenic Costa Vicentina on the most beautiful section of the Fishermen

I don't know how many times I've already walked this trail in my wellness community in the Taunus, which can also be found under the @FAZ hiking tips, but today it fits perfectly into the calm after the short thunderstorm. Next week, hopefully, it will be the Odenwald again for a change.
