Ein schöner, ruhiger Weg durch lichten Mischwald. Fast eben (21 Höhenmeter) verläuft er auf asphaltierten und wassergebundenen Wegen und ist daher besonders für Rollstuhl und Kinderwagen geeignet (dann gegen den Uhrzeigersinn laufen). Er führt vom Wanderparkplatz oberhalb von Reddehausen über 3,3 km als überschaubarer Rundkurs (ausgeschildert als RU2). Unterwegs bieten sich Rastplätze an der Blutbuche, den Tonlöchern und schließlich am Wanderparkplatz an.
An den Tonlöchern bietet sich einem ein schöner Panoramablick am Waldrand und gleichzeitig nach längerem Regen das Biotop mit den voll gelaufenen Tonlöchern. Hier wurde bis 1946 Ton gestochen, der in drei Reddehäuser Ziegeleien zu Biberschwanz-Ziegeln verarbeitet wurde. Heute sind die Tümpel wichtiger Lebensraum für Amphibien und andere Kleinlebewesen.

The municipality of Cölbe lies on the edge of the Burgwald forest and is surrounded by a fascinating natural landscape. Here you will find numerous well-signposted hiking trails leading through forests, over gentle hills and along picturesque river courses. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced hiker - everyone will get their money's worth here.
A particularly beautiful hiking tour starts directly in the centre of Cölbe. The "Rundweg C" leads past historic half-timbered houses and offers wonderful views of the surrounding countryside. This tour is perfect for families with children as it is relatively short and does not include any major climbs.
For more challenging tours, we recommend the "Burgwaldpfad", an approximately 18-kilometre-long circular hiking trail through the nature park of the same name. Here you dive deep into the forest and can enjoy the untouched nature to the full. On the way, you pass small streams, moss-covered rocks and breathtaking vantage points.
The various themed hiking trails around Cölbe are also particularly attractive. For example, there is an educational wine trail where you can learn many interesting things about viticulture in the region. Or how about a hike along the Lahn hiking trail? This leads directly along the banks of the river and offers wonderful views of the water.
The best seasons for hiking in Cölbe are spring and autumn. In spring, nature blossoms into new life and in autumn the forests are transformed into a sea of colour. But you can also hike wonderfully here in summer, as many paths lead through shady forest areas.
In summary, Cölbe is a true paradise for hiking enthusiasts. The geographical location on the edge of the Burgwald forest, the well-signposted hiking trails and the diverse themed routes make this region an ideal destination for nature lovers. Whether short walks or challenging tours - everyone will find their own personal favourite route here. So lace up your hiking boots and explore the picturesque landscape of Cölbe!
