About the Vogelburg: The Vogelburg, located in the middle of the Hochtaunus Nature Park, is a bird park of a very special kind. Its creation and continuous development since 1981 are thanks to the initiative of a bird enthusiast who, due to family tradition, has been caring for parrots for decades. Over the years, this park has evolved into a sanctuary for parrots that were surrendered by private owners for various reasons.

From the Weil valley up to the 662-meter-high Pferdskopf, it is naturally a long ascent followed by a descent at the end. The incline extends accordingly but is thus considerably softened. A certain level of hiking fitness is required for the route. The largely well-developed path also ensures it is not a strenuous effort.

Dear hiking friends! Our route starts at the Weilrod-Altweilnau Egersthammer bus stop and runs through the Taunus to Oberursel. We pass Treisberg, Schmitten and Oberreifenberg before arriving at the Taunus Information Center in Oberursel. On our route, we go uphill and downhill for almost 20 kilometers. Along the way we climb Pferdekopf (663 m), Pfaffenrod (596 m), and Altkönig (798 m). At the end of the day, cool drinks and good food await in Oberursel. The route is very varied.

2-day hike. Overnight stay in Glashütten. Where once a scoundrel caused havoc, today there is a quality hiking route. The route takes you through two national parks, past the UNESCO World Heritage Site Limes, to Eppstein Castle, and over numerous mountain peaks. You must conquer the main ridge of the Taunus, the Atzelberg, and the Pferdskopf. You will repeatedly be rewarded with breathtaking views of the green foothills of the Taunus and the Frankfurt skyline. The destination is Kelkheim.

    Eine Tour, die sehr schön ist. Und vor allem die Vogelburg ist eine absolute Empfehlung. Auch direkt anfahrbar ist diese auch. Video meiner Tour ist da zu finden: https://youtu.be/lGLLpNblwAA

    Der westliche Teil ist aufgrund der Waldschäden aktuell nicht so doll. Dafür entschädigt der Pferdskopf und das Ensemble in Altweilnau.

    Die 500 Meter bis Wolfsküppel sind inzwischen zugewuchert, Stand 11/2022. Sollte man im Sommer nicht gehen. Besser den suedlich parallel verlaufenden Weg nehmen.

    Der Einstieg auf der anderen Seite der Landstrasse ist leider zugewuchert, so dass man besser gleich aufs Feld geht und dann immer geradeaus durchs Dorf bis man automatisch wieder auf dem offiziellen Weg landet. Die letzten 1,5 km oder so nicht auf dem parallel verlaufenden geschotterten/asphaltierten Weg gehen, sondern genau so wie eingezeichnet, sonst verpasst man ein/das Highlight, die Riedelbacher Heide (hat bei Sonnenschein einen Flair von Spanien oder Suedfrankreich). Danke an dieser Stelle an die Erstellerin der Weilrod-Touren, bald habe ich als Zugezogener alle durch und so meine neue Heimat besser kennengelernt!

    Sehr schöne Tour mit abwechslungsreichem Streckenverlauf, tollen Ausblicken mit überwiegenden Waldanteilen und bei passendem Wetter dem Weitblick des Aussichtsturms auf dem Pferdskopf.

    Wir haben diese Wanderung an einem sonnigen Novembertag gemacht. Wobei wir vom Parkplatz in Seelenberg aus die etwas kürzere Route, die mit dem blauen Schmetterling markiert ist, genommen haben. Diese folgt dem "Schinderhannes-Steig", der gut begehbar ist. Auf Grund des Fichtensterbens sind einige Flächen im Wald gerodet. Vom Turm auf dem Pferdskopf schöne Aussicht rundum, vom Feldberg bis zum Hessenpark. Am Fuße des Turms drei Rastplätze.

    Eine schöne Tour mit teils sehr einsamen Pfaden durch den Wald. Das Tal des Eisenbachs ist sehr idyllisch und im letzten Abschnitt hat man einen schönen Panormablick in die Ebene bei Bad Camberg.

    Dombachtal ist ein nettes Wald- und Wiesental mit munterem BAch - hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Der Eichelbacher Hof ist wirklich urgemütlich, war aber mit riesegem Kachelofen überheizt.
