    Wunderschöne Wanderung. Nachdem wir fast alle Traumpfade und Traumschleifen erwandert haben, sind wir froh privat eingestellte Wanderungen zu finden. Vielen Dank.

    Sehr abwechslungsreiche Rundtour mit einer fast alpinen Serpentinenauffahrt zwischen Isselbach und Hirschberg. Danach rollt man bis Diez den Berg runter... Sowohl in Diez als auch in Montabaur gibt es ausreichend Einkehrmöglichkeiten
