August 25, 2024,P3 - Blaue Kuppe-Leuchtberge 🏘⛰️💧

Premium trail P3 Blaue Kuppe - Leuchtberge / Eschwege
Experience score: 61

Good physical condition, steep climbs, narrow paths, hiking boots required.

The panoramic tour leads out of the city to the natural monument and national geotop Blaue Kuppe, a stuck volcano. It continues up a challenging climb to the Lotzenkopf, through the Schlierbachswald and back down with a view …

June 4, 2023,P3 bei Traumwetter 😎☀️

Today was the perfect weather for P3- wonderful view from the Bismarck Tower and finally almost an ice cream in the old town of Eschwege- unfortunately the queue was too long for me 😉 By the way, the route was only 18.8 km long- apparently I hadn't finished correctly, so that komoot counted the turning from the parking lot 😇

March 8, 2026,Blaue Kuppe-Leuchtberge P3 (RB-Eschwege - RB-Eschwege)

The premium hiking trail P3 "Blaue Kuppe – Leuchtberge" in Eschwege was on the agenda this Sunday. From the train station, a self-chosen access route was used to reach the official trail. This initially leads towards the Blaue Kuppe (Blue Hill), where the views of the Werra Valley and the Frau-Holle-Land Geo-Nature Park become increasingly impressive.

January 9, 2024,P03 Blaue Kuppe - Leuchtberge

We continued on the premium paths. Started at Felsenkeller in ESW. The paths were easy to hike, the paths were hard due to the frost. Fantastic views and unplanned, I was at the Bismarck Tower at sunset, which was also open. It's VERY STEEP up to Lotzenberg, which took a lot of energy.

March 31, 2024,☀️Premiumweg🌋P3🥉Eschwege🏰

The P 3 was one of the few premium hiking trails that I was still missing. Today, with almost summer temperatures, it was just right for Easter Sunday. A great hike with some steep climbs. Unfortunately, some of the trails around the Lotzenkopf are currently quite muddy due to forestry work. Otherwise, very beautiful and varied!

March 1, 2024,Premiumwege: P03 - Blaue Kuppe und Leuchtberge

...for hiking. And so today we went to the neighbors in Hesse again - to Frau-Holle-Land. The first premium trail, the P03 Blaue Kuppe - Leuchtberge, was on the program.
And it was really premium: varied paths, great views, tough climbs on narrow paths, history, forests, meadows, rocks. What more could you want to start the weekend...the next premium trails …
