Old Town Hall Weinähr

Highlight • Historical Site

Over 500 years old town hall (15th century) and thus probably the oldest building in the town. Was restored in the 90s.

Ridge Trail Between Lahn and Gelbach Valleys

Should definitely be taken along.. it's a nice area

Nice climb, unfortunately on asphalt. From there you can either go through the Dörsbachtal to Singhofen or just get there. The monastery is also worth a short stay. Especially in summer it is worth visiting the cool walls.

Jammertal am Dörsbach

Highlight • Gorge

Beautiful valley with the Dörsbach, very idyllic, fantastically beautiful small hiking trail, always close to the river. The lush greenery (in summer) is unexpected and intoxicating.

March 3, 2024,Abenteuertour 🪴 Dörsbach * Jammertal * 19 Löcherklamm

From the Klostermühle car park in Oberhof today we went on an adventure tour that was like a never-ending obstacle course:

Anyone who is not afraid of overcoming sticks and stones, embankments and bushes, and who is no stranger to limbo, can let off steam here to their heart's content. 😉😊
Photo 55 is significant.
When we comfortably put together …

May 4, 2025,Wanderung von Obernhof den Dörsbach rauf und runter

A very relaxing hiking trail, only signposted on the left side as the Dörsbach-Mühlenwanderweg. The trail on the right is wilder and more pristine, full of hidden surprises and variations. It was a Sunday afternoon, and there was only one other hiker besides us along the trail. It was lonely and ravined.🦚

I've been out and about in the always wonderful Dörsbach/Jammertal for a long time now... there are now quite a few trees on the paths, crawling and scrambling are the order of the day 😉otherwise, as always, a wonderful valley on very beautiful paths.

May 8, 2024,Jammertal Runde von der Waldschmidtmühle aus

Basically beautiful, but at the moment due to the many fallen trees on the left bank, it can only be managed with some adventurous scrambling. Would have liked to have had a rope with me. 🫣

August 14, 2023,'Jammertal' (Taunus)

This circular hike of around 15 km leads through the lower part of the idyllic Dörsbach valley, a side valley of the Lahn. Due to a legend, the wild and romantic valley is also called Jammertal (Valley of Lament). However, the tour itself is so beautiful that there is nothing to lament!

November 1, 2022,SSC _ Jammertal Highlights

So far all the highlights of the valley of tears in one tour.
Unfortunately, the Kammerlay is missing.

Hints:
- Follow the path after about 850m; not the record!
- the way to the pulpit is unfortunately quite overgrown but still recognizable. Just follow the GPS.
- Originally it was planned to go past the Mittelmühle to the Untermühle and …
