Start and finish was Eichelsachsen, a district of Schotten im Vogelsberg.
The signposted path leads through fields, meadows and forest, you can see wonderfully far. The Hoherodskopf with its striking transmission tower also catches the eye again and again.
A nice round!

The 🌞 beautiful weather used, with a very nice tour peppered with many far-reaching views 👁️❗

And I approached this “trace of nature” 🦊 very slowly. I had to constantly pull out …

We chose the DGH as our starting point. The excellently signposted route featured several sights, our highlight being the Geological Tree Hedge. The trails were all well-maintained, so we …

I was partially familiar with the tour from a hike we did a few weeks ago👌. But now I was very amazed at the perfect signage, number of benches and above all the super mulched meadow paths and the avoidance of tarred paths. Perfectly prepared by the hiking initiative
Acorn Axes. 👏👏
