The path climbs steeply to the Nollig ruins, offering stunning views of the Rhine Valley along the way. From there, the route heads

Sunshine on my day off! My hike today takes me to Rambach, a district of Wiesbaden, as I had some errands to run nearby. Rambach is surrounded by expansive fields, meadows, and forests, giving it an idyllic, rural atmosphere. Part of my route leads through the Goldstein Valley – a popular local recreation

The "Roman Trails" and "Castle Views" trails, which I combined into one hike, lead around the two Bad Schwalbach districts of Lindschied and Adolfseck. Cultural highlights include Villa Lilly (the summer residence of Anheuser-Busch brewer Adolphus Busch) and the Justinus Rock with its approximately 1800

Today I kicked off my 2026 hiking season with a circular tour to the three highest peaks of the Taunus Mountains: the Großer Feldberg (around 880 meters), the Kleiner Feldberg (around 825 meters), and the Altkönig (around 798 meters). While the temperature was a crisp -7 degrees Celsius, the sunshine
