Simone spontaneously called me yesterday and we decided that today would be the time for this beautiful tour. Said - done 😊
This wonderful circular tour meanders through forests, meadows and past moss-covered rocks and captivates with its magnificent views.
Up it went to the Sickinger heights and past the heights of the valley; the path continues through the romantic …

With the Sickinger Höhenweg, a premium path should be tackled again. Somehow we could not really make friends with the way. There were some unnecessary loops that probably only served to gain kilometers. 🤷‍♂️. For the first 10 km we looked in vain for a rest area with a bench and table. So we made our breakfast break on a …

This path has been on my list for a very long time. Today was the opportunity to hike the route off the list.🎄🥾 Except for the roundabout (roundabout) at Höheinöd, I am very satisfied with the route.
When the weather is clear, I become a repeat offender
The holiday had the advantage of having the way to myself 😇

Overall, however, I found …

Today we went to the Sickinger Höhenweg with Bettina. Nice that it worked out before the time change and we had a perfect day. By the way, we both thought that such a golden October day was just the right thing for this tour. We started in Waldfischbach-Burgalben and walked along the Klapperbach for a while before heading uphill on …

The region surrounding the 24.5-kilometer-long Sickinger Höhenweg is named after the last German knight, Franz von Sickingen, who once ruled there.

The circular tour starts at the train station in Waldfischbach-Burgalben and first leads to the Sickinger Höhe (Sickinger Heights) to the Celtic burial mounds, which bear witness to the region's ancient settlement history. Passing the village of Höheinöd, you …
