Trais-Horloffer Lake

Highlight • Lake

Due to the large car park, the snack bar and the restaurant, there is always a high number of visitors on the Inheiden side of the lake, which is why the Trais Horloffer side is a bit of an "insider tip"😂😂

Hungen Castle

Highlight • Castle

The castle in Hungen is not only an eye-catcher in the otherwise rather simple shepherd town on the edge of the Wetterau.

The Hungen Castle is impressive and its residents thank you with a rich cultural program.

My thanks go to that

January 28, 2024,Rundweg Hungen Süd
What had been feared yesterday in Ried in Rhine-Hesse, but did not materialize, has now become reality today: road closures due to flooding. The Horloff hadn't overflowed at all, but the lower meadow behind the bridge had turned into a stately lake.
This did little to harm the southern loop of the Hungen circular route, but it was still a …

Very nice path, also feasible for children. Many information boards about the Romans and the Limes

* or: "Around the Hungen gas station". Somehow it was visible from afar.

April weather today. Hourly changing weather reports made it difficult to choose the hiking route. There was probably only a guarantee of sun on the mountain road (later saw that it was also overgrown here, but with larger sections of blue sky).

The path near Hof Grass is currently closed due to flooding.

The south loop is the middle tour of the Hungen circular trail and takes you through Hungen Switzerland and to the idyllic shore of the Inheidener/Trais-Horloffer Lake.



Your hike begins at the car park at the Hungen town hall and immediately takes you south to the town centre of Hungen. A good opportunity
