Bad weather was forecast for my day off today – so I quickly put together a short hike in the vicinity: It goes into the Wiesbaden city forest, which was designated as the "Forest Area of the Year" in 2025. Starting from Frauenstein, the path leads me into the picturesque Lippbach valley, which is a

To get straight to the conclusion: this hike is definitely one of my most beautiful ones recently. A big thank you goes to @The Little Red Weasel for the inspiration and the GPS track – without it, I would probably have gone off the path in some places, as the signage was not entirely clear to me.

The Aar loop „Taunussteiner Doppelbach“ was completed in October 2025 and is to be officially opened on the last weekend of April. Since I am also opting for public transport today (bus line 245 of the Rhein-Main-Verkehrsverbund from Wiesbaden), I start my tour in the Taunusstein district of Hahn, which

With the fourth stage, I am completing my hike on the Aar-Höhenweg today. Since traveling by public transport would take about two and a half hours, I decide to drive to the Aartal this time. With wonderfully beautiful hiking weather again, the almost 18-kilometer route leads me from Hahnstätten to Diez

Today's third stage of the Aar-Höhenweg leads me from Michelbach to Hahnstätten. This time too, perfect hiking weather accompanies me: the sun warms pleasantly and spring shows its face everywhere. While the previous stage was characterized by wooded stretches in the narrow Aartal valley, this tour presents

On the second leg of the Aar High Trail, I'm once again blessed with ideal hiking weather. This section is arguably the most beautiful stretch of the Aar Valley: The trail leads almost continuously through dense forest along a ridge beside the particularly narrow valley of the Aar River.

As a classic high-altitude trail, the route mostly runs above the Aar Valley. Today, in perfect hiking weather, I completed

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 reservoir, which covers approximately 120 hectares and was created in 1979, is used almost exclusively for recreational activities. We are being treated to sunshine on this winter day. We take a

Today's hike along the Aar River is something I "borrowed" from @Manuela 📸 (many thanks for that!), slightly adapted, and expanded. In perfect hiking weather, the approximately 16-kilometer route offers a varied experience, leading along idyllic forest paths, wide forest roads, and scenic field paths

As last week, mixed weather is also forecast for my day off today, which is why I am once again opting for a short hike in the vicinity. I choose the SchwalbenTour "Gerhards Augenblicke", which leads around Hettenhain, a district of Bad Schwalbach. At the beginning of the tour, the path opens up some
