    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.
