March 1, 2023,Ulrichstein: Weitblicktour Ulrichstein [Premium-Wanderweg]

"A 12 km long circular route to the most beautiful vantage points and interesting points around Ulrichstein. Magnificent deciduous forests and small-scale meadow landscapes, the romantic "Grduchen" in the valley and the flower meadows of the Vogelsberggarten make this route an unforgettable hiking experience. The highlight at the end of the hike is the Schlossberg with castle ruins and a …

I would say... We made perfect use of the weekend 🥾🎒☀️

After yesterday's tour in the Odenwald, today we went to the Vogelsberg again. What a great tour!

Parked in Ulrichstein and then basically around the town. The tour is officially called Weitblickrunde Ulrichstein and that fits.

Today the Laubacher VHC members were in Ulrichstein, the city with a view. For our annual winter hike we had chosen the Vogelsberg extra tour "Weitblicktour". Unfortunately there was no sign of winter. The wind and weather made us feel more like we were out and about in late autumn. But no matter, the hike was beautiful and we had …

This castle is older than the town itself. The town's origins date back to the last major period of land clearing, which dates from the 11th to the …

The last Sunday hike in 2024 😄
I did the extra tour in foggy conditions (-2 degrees). It runs along the Jewish Trail in parts. The sun ⛅️ also came out briefly every now and then. The tour itself is nothing special 🤷‍♀️, but you'll probably have great views when the weather is nice 😜
The highlight is actually just …

Should you start the 13th tour of this year's challenge on a Friday? Yes, you should 😉!!

Today's tour starts at Ulrichstein Town Hall in the beautiful Vogelsberg region. Here, you'll find places like Bobenhausen II, Höckersdorf, and Mücke 😁. Right on the Ulrichstein town sign, it announces: *Hesse's highest town*, so the tour starts at an altitude of 560 …

Today I did the panoramic view tour in Ulrichstein. You can park your car 🚗 for free at the town hall, which currently has an Easter fountain 🐣. I planned and followed the tour as described in my brochure. However, I noticed along the way that the very well-marked route and the tour in the booklet differ slightly from kilometer …
