The path leads through the Kaltbach valley up to the height of Winden past the Kreuzeiche via Hömberg back to Nassau. The return route from Hömberg to Nassau offers numerous viewpoints. Over several kilometers, you walk on wide, paved paths that are comfortable and easy to walk on.
With a total length of 16 km, the circular hiking trail leads up to the heights of the 590 km² large Nature Park Nassau.
The entire route of the Kreuzeichen route is continuously marked with yellow signs with blue lettering and distance information.
The starting point of the hike is the outdoor pool parking lot in Nassau. Free parking available all day. Here you will find the hiking trail map for the hike.
Author’s recommendation
The old Kreuzeiche with its ingrown cast iron crucifix is definitely worth a visit, truly worth seeing!
A visit to the Gickelturm on the way from Hömberg to Nassau is a highlight. Here the hiker is rewarded with splendid views into the Lahn valley with Nassau Castle and the heights of the Taunus. The tower is marked with signs.
Derived from the technical difficulty and the stamina requirements.
