The Weitblicktour Ulrichstein lives up to its status as a certified Extratour. In addition to the panoramic views mentioned in the title – no less than six viewpoints in different directions of the compass are along the route – varied landscape forms, the natural monument "Dicke Steine", and the Ulrichstein castle ruins provide exciting hiking enjoyment. You should plan enough time for the Vogelsberggarten, which is integrated into the landscape around the castle ruins.

Hiking is fun like this! Small paths through quiet stream valleys alternate with open meadows, grazing land, and forest passages. Ulrichstein, the start and end point of the Extratour, sits atop a striking volcanic plug above the Hoher Vogelsberg. The hiking portal at Lindenplatz offers a great start to the upcoming 12 (or, with alternative route, 18) kilometers of the Weitblicktour. An information board shows the route, length, and elevation profile of the path and points out special features and attractions. The castle ruin with the surrounding Vogelsberggarten and the fantastic panoramic view forms the crowning finale of the “scenic” route.
