The start was the parking lot at the Taufsteinhütte restaurant.

A pleasant circular route around the Hoherodskopf with lots of seating and great panoramic views.

We treated ourselves to a detour on the treetop path (€ 8.50 entry) and a break in the "mountain hut".

The Hoherodskopf in the Vogelsberg is fully developed for tourism. There is a large car park for the climbing park, summer toboggan run, restaurants and hikers. From there, the easy circular trail leads through forest, moor and heathland. To the southwest, a fantastic view is a highlight.

Of course it is wonderful to go for a walk around the Hoher Vogelsberg with frost, sunshine and a deep blue sky. But to go for a walk in the fog and light snowfall is something very special. Not only do you have Hoherodskopf and Taufstein almost to yourself and hardly a car is to be seen up here, it …
