May 20, 2023,Bad Ems : Vier-Türme-Tour

Fantastic tour with a lot of history, history, great views, over all the towers of Bad Ems. Crunchy, strenuous with corresponding altitude meters, but great paths, it went to many prominent historical points of Bad Ems. The "Lost Place" of the Mahlbergbahn mountain station was also a highlight and a piece of industrial history. Even then, the water ballast track …

Off to the 4 Towers Tour around Bad Ems.
Four viewpoints on the slopes around Bad Ems must be climbed on this circular hike (you should already have a taste for serpentine paths). It's quite a strenuous tour, as the 17km route involves four "up and down" climbs, covering around 630 meters in elevation.
Bad Ems is nestled in the …

Today I was actually supposed to do the 4 Towers Trail, but because of the weather (hail) I had to stop after 3 towers. The trail is varied and easy to walk. It offers some beautiful views of Bad Ems. I'm sure I walked a few kilometers too many because the trail is very poorly signposted in places.

The Four Towers Tour is another premium hiking trail from Bad Ems and is originally designed like a cloverleaf 🍀.
From the central market square at the train station you can hike up four towers and thus also mountains and heights that lie around the new (since 07.2021) Unesco World Heritage Site.

Actually, today I wanted to do something the easy way. 😚
Climb up to the Malberg and down again with the Malbergbahn. I then realized at the top that I was hiking to a "Lost Place" 🙈.
Has not driven for at least 40 years. 😂
So again the entire route on Schusters....🥾🥾 Nothing, despite, I like the Bad Emser …
