November 1, 2025,Extratour Zweiburgentour

Starting at the trailhead in Hohensolms, the Two Castles Extra Tour led me through varied forest sections and open stretches with fantastic panoramic views. Despite the mostly light rain, the tour was a wonderful experience. The combination of historical highlights and nature definitely makes this route recommendable!

The certified premium hiking trail Zweiburgentour lies at the intersection of the Gladenbacher Bergland and Hörre in the Lahn-Dill-Bergland in Hesse. The name of this Hessen extra tour refers to Hohensolms Castle and its predecessor, Altensolms Castle.

The starting point of the two-castle tour is the Hohensolms youth castle on the Ramsberg (435m). Jugendburg because today the evangelical church is …

There was still too much daylight left after this very beautiful round and the Aartalsee is not far. 🤭

February 12, 2023,Zweiburgen-Extratour, Hohensolms

Today we drove to the Hohensolms village community center.
You can park your vehicle there.

From the car park it is approx. 270 meters to the start of the "Two Castles Extra Tour".

Hohensolms Castle and the remains of the castle on the Altenberg give this successful circular hiking trail its name.

Today we walked the Premiumweg Zweiburgentour in the best conditions. Unfortunately we have the remains of the second one. Didn't see the castle at Altenberg 😎, we just walked past 😂😇. The Zwiburgentour is also a great one. Panorama path, ideal for this time of year. The section through the oak forest was also great 🌳

For our monthly hike today, we chose the "Two Castles Tour" as an extra option. This route is a certified premium hiking trail. It's varied and offers expansive views of the Lahn-Dill Uplands at several points. The forest features beautiful, natural paths. We had to find a suitable spot to cross a stream today. Elsewhere, there's a very nice trail …

I have run this beautiful tour several times. However, I prefer to run in the opposite direction to the one indicated, I find it nicer. ;-)
