Shortly before you disappear here in the forest or leave it after the climb in the opposite direction, there are beautiful distant views from the ridge on the edge of the forest!

View of Heftrich

Highlight • Viewpoint

Easily drivable forest highway, which runs almost circularly above Heftrich from the Alteburg and besides driving fun on the following descent into the village also offers great views of the valley and over the Taunus.

On this dirt road, which was finely graveled at the beginning and later paved, it goes downhill from start to finish with a few curves - and how:

View of the barn front in Walsdorf

Highlight • Viewpoint

Always nice to look at: Above the asphalt field / bike path running in the valley, an imposing, closed row of half-timbered buildings towers like a city wall. Today houses, formerly used as barns.

Incredibly well-preserved old town without traffic with many alleys and lots of half-timbered houses. But absolutely no "museum village". Thanks to very good gastronomy and many visitors - especially on …

One of my favorite tours👍

Nice to drive in any weather, even in winter, also possible without a road, extremely varied landscape - and there are always new and interesting views of the Taunus or the valleys... by the way, depending on the weather, both never look the same out!

Variety guaranteed, you just have to pedal yourself...😉
