Once again, it started from Hahnerberg, down into the Gelpebach valley and past Clemenshammer.
After I had crossed the town of Gerstau, I walked through several stream valleys on beautiful paths.
Because of my multi-day hike last week, I was well-trained. So

Today started really early. Since I was taking the train back to Arfurt, I had to catch the 6:38 AM train, as the next one wasn't until 2 hours later.
So I started walking in the dark. First, I walked through

Soon I had left Weilburg in the morning, crossing the
chain bridge over the Lahn.
Now followed a short but very exciting path along the Lahn. This is accompanied by very high cliffs. It's immense how the river has cut its

Slept well and had breakfast, so I could start the long stage early today.
It rained during the night and the sun came out in the morning. That's how it should be. 🌧🌞
Right away, it went up to the Kalsmunt castle ruins. Unfortunately

Slept like a log, I went to breakfast in peace. 😁
Since today is only a short stage, I enjoyed breakfast with plenty of time. The breakfast room in the hotel am Berg is also very cozy. 🥨🥐
But now it started, past Gleiberg Castle

I already walked the first stages of the hiking trail last year in May, and now it's finally continuing.
I took the train early in the morning to Fronhausen to hike the next two stages from the train station.

I started from a small parking lot in Odenthal. Shortly thereafter, it went uphill, and I got my first view of the hilly landscape in beautiful sunshine. It was still quite fresh in the morning, but pleasant.
Now came a path along a country road. After I had

I parked in the village of Knittkuhl and soon went over the glider airfield, where there was a lot of activity.
I continued over green meadows, then down a hollow path into the Rotthäuser Bachtal. Always beautiful there, the forest is more like a natural forest area

There should have been a parking lot for hikers here. I didn't find it, so I parked on the side of the road.
After a short distance, I mostly followed a beautiful narrow path for about 5 km along the Nacker Bach.
Then came 3 km of urban area, before I dived back

Today, I laced up my backpack for the last time and set off on the final stage.
Before that, of course, I had a good breakfast, and off I went. First, back uphill again; in the morning, it was still cloudy, but nowhere

After a good night's sleep and breakfast at a café, I restocked my supplies at the nearby supermarket and was ready to continue.
Out and up from Weikersheim, we walked along fields past the observatory until

The 4th stage would have been 33 kilometers for me, which is too much. Therefore, I divided it up and added a few small detours, so that I ended up with a route that was comfortable for me.
This way I could

We started today at the hiking parking lot. (Strange only the woman who sat here on her car's hood in her leggings…)
So off we went quickly and soon I was in the wonderful nature. Through the Felderbachtal and its super beautiful landscape, there was a lot going on
