Traditionally, we meet on the long Father's Day weekend to go hiking without a handcart. The meeting point and "base camp" is a location that is as conveniently located as possible and has the potential for hiking tours. This year it's Bad Ems in the Lahntal: A very good choice, because you can walk along the Lahnhöhenweg once to the …
