There are perhaps even nicer nature trails, but this one leads through a fantastic forest! The forest itself would be worth a visit.

The Eppstein train station is the ideal starting point, whether you arrive by public transport or by car. The circular route itself is beautiful, although there are also a few points of criticism: the route is difficult …

February 11, 2023,"Rund um Eppstein, Richard-Hofmann-Weg", allerdings ohne Eppstein,

Veronika put together a really challenging tour today - for our standards. The signposted tour "Rund um Eppstein, Richard-Hofmann-Weg" of the Eppstein Beautification Association, but without Eppstein, as we have already "haunted" it on another tour. The Richard-Hofmann-Weg was established in 2006 by the beautification association and marked with the imperial temple symbol as a signpost. It is about 21 …

So today a tour according to "plan"...
And yes, I was not involved in the plan... 😇 but a very nice tour.
Eppstein Castle was closed for construction work, which was a pity if you ever go there 🤷🏼‍♂️.

The rain of the last few days had made it a bit muddy, but 🤷🏼‍♂️... that's the way it is. When …
