November 11, 2023,Bad Sobernheim - Hottenbachweg mit Abstecher zum kahlen Hahn

Today we went to Bad Sobernheim, to the Hottenbachweg. First we went steeply down onto a muddy path and crossed the castle moat before we went down to the Nahe, which had a lot of water today and was quite wild. Then continue along the Nahe, before turning left at the mouth of the Hottenbach and continuing along its banks …

November 11, 2023,Bad Sobernheim - Hottenbachweg

Today we went to the Naheland again - on the approx. 12 km long Hottenbachweg around Bad Sobernheim. A beautiful autumnal hike with the great viewpoint "Kahlen Hahn" - a detour leads here and you should take the officially signposted path and better not take our shortcut. The Nahe has a lot of water at the moment.
We walked the …

July 25, 2024,Bad Sobernheim, Hottenbachweg, Staudernheim

Today my tour took me to the Hottenbach Valley.
As I didn't start from home, I first had to have breakfast in Bad Sobernheim.☕🥐
Refreshed, I went for a short tour near the city before setting off on the Hottenbach tour.
The first part was pretty asphalt-heavy 😒
and there was no sign of the Hottenbach.🔍
It got better in …

April 27, 2025,Rundtour zum Kahlen Hahn Rund um Bad Sobernheim

Well-intentioned, but a bit dated...the path is still quite neglected, partly a tank track, and forestry and agriculture have torn up the often wide forest paths. The landscape has potential, with a great view from the Kahler Hahn. The only culinary destination, Lohrmühle, has unfortunately been closed for years...
Oh well.

October 13, 2023,Wanderung Hottenbachweg bei Bad Sobernheim

The path mostly follows wide, well-developed hiking trails, which didn't really motivate our children. The view from the bald Hahn over the Naheland made up for a lot. Up there you can take a nice break in beautiful surroundings. The second part of the hike was more appealing because the route was more varied.

April 19, 2022,Bad Sobernheim - Hottenbachweg

Today we went to the Hottenbachweg near Bad Sobernheim. We started at the parking lot of the open-air museum and after a few meters we headed towards the Naheufer. The Nahe always accompanied us in our immediate vicinity for some time. The path then turned left and we left the Nahe area. The Hottenbach became our constant companion to our …
