This somewhat longer stage takes us in a large "S" from Altenstadt via Glauberg to Konradsdorf Monastery. Through forests and meadows and beautiful places of Wetterau. This route is self-logged and therefore more precise than the original GPS data, which inexplicably skips "Die Steinern" in the Düdelsheim area, takes the road when descending from Glauberg, and also takes a different path when climbing the forest afterwards, although large white arrows on the field path indicate the way to "F" Fulda and "M" Mainz.

    Ein wirklich sehr Schöne Tour. Ist sehr viel Natur. Und weitgehend abseits der Straßen. Tolle. Auch kommt man viel an Naturschutzgebieten vorbei. Grade zu der Jahreszeit, super um Tiere zu sehen zu bekommen. Störche sind in der Zeit auch zu sehen. Leider nur die Windpferde nicht gesehen. Schade. Die Kettenwelt hat auch viel zu bieten. Auch Essen kann man vor Ort.

    Sehr angenehme Wanderung auf Feld- und Wiesenwegen. Aufteilung in zwei Etappen möglich. Vom Aussichtspunkt "Hohe Linde" ein für hiesige Verhältnisse grandioser Blick über die Skyline Frankfurts. 12 Thementafeln erläutern verschiedenste Themem von Entstehung der Landschaft über Dorfgeschichte bis zum Naturschutz. Über QR Codes können zusätzliche Wanderthemen an jeder Tafel abgerufen werden. Z. B. Sagen, Mundart oder auch das Verlesen des Tafelinhalts für Sehbehinderte.
