View from the Entenberg (Endenberg) across the Lahn Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

From time to time you can watch paragliders taking off and how they glide down into the valley, which is gentle on their joints.

Today we walked the Lahn Facette Trail from Bad Laasphe. The tour is very nice to walk. It only consists of forest paths and trails with great views of Breitenstein, Niederlaasphe and Bad Laasphe ☀️🥾🤩

At the end of the tour, the path was massively thrown up with dead trees, no getting through, and there were still completely desolate trees. Attempt other way towards ended also …

A lap after the early shift of the consorts led Fiete and me today to the Entenberg in Bad Laasphe. There were great views, there were mountains for panting two-legged friends (two-legged friends mind you)...
But they also took their time and took a lot of photos.

Great way from the guest house in Bad Laasphe via the spa park and the Hugo-Kracht-Hütte up to the Entenberg.

You have to see the view there. Then it goes back to Bad Laasphe on the well-marked Lahnfacette Entenberg. Great!

After the two stages that didn't quite match the quality of the previous stages of the Lahnwanderweg, I did another short circular hike around Bad Laaspe... and wow, they do exist here! This trail had everything: lots of small singletrack, challenging climbs and descents... a very beautiful trail 👍👍... The last 1.5 km or so aren't part of it; I …

Walked the Lahn-Facetten Entenberg loop at 16° and glorious sunshine. It offers beautiful paths and trails as well as great views.
I recommend parking at the Schützenhaus, from there you can start the tour in both directions.
