From Herthasee through the Gelbachtal to Eppenrod. Circular route in connection with the Halfterweg.
For the devout residents of Isselbach, Sunday used to be their hiking day. Although they had a chapel from the 16th century, it was necessary for a long time to go to Eppenrod for the main church services. The fortified church of Eppenrod was built around 1250. From that time, the fortified Romanesque west tower and the choir still remain. Both parts were newly connected in the 18th century with a baroque nave.
Those who did not own or were not taken by carriage had to walk the four-kilometer stretch back and forth every Sunday. The path was easy to walk, so it could be managed well even in Sunday best.
Today on your church route you will see more than just the church of Eppenrod; try counting the towers of chapels, churches, and other buildings along the way and in the distance.
But without a doubt, the Romanesque fortified church of Eppenrod is the most beautiful and interesting.

Due to its length, frequent ascents and descents, and partly no longer used paths, this is a very demanding but, in my opinion, attractive circular hike from the Westerwald over the heights down to the Lahn.
