Right here on the trail along the Michelbach, on the mountain slope of the Bernhardkopf, there are several mighty slate rock cliffs of "Maibacher Switzerland".

June 16, 2024,Taunus - Runde von Wernborn über Eschbacher Klippen

Today we decided at short notice to go for a hike near Usingen.
Without much preparation we set off in beautiful Wernborn.
From beautiful fields and meadows to rustic forest areas to rock formations of the typical slate mountains in the Taunus, everything was there.

Great tour to the Eschbach cliffs. The cliffs themselves are of course the highlight - but the hike takes you along great paths, sometimes past rocks or along the Michelbach stream - simply beautiful!

It went to the Eschbacher cliffs, through the unspoilt Michelbach valley along rocks with a view of the Michelbach, which flows through the wonderful floodplain and is dammed in fishing ponds. The Hasenweg leads through the Maibacher Schweiz, which continues to be accompanied by the two-stream Michelbach with its beautiful floodplain.

Dear outdoor friends,
Today we're off to the Taunus Mountains near Usingen-Eschbach. There are two rock formations there called Buchstein (Buchsteinfelsen) and Saienstein (Kaiser-Friedrich-Felsen). These rocks are widely known as the Eschbach Cliffs. The cliffs are the visible part of a 6-kilometer-long quartz vein. The up to twelve-meter-high cliffs are protected as a natural monument.

A wonderful tour, a wow effect chasing the next. The rock formations are very large and diverse. The hiking trails are very narrow, rocky and very easy to walk. At times also rain-soaked and muddy, but it is an additional adventure to find ways around the mud or sometimes directly through it.
You mostly follow the Michelbach and mostly have …

On the last weekend in April, just go to Maibach in the Taunus and look at the Eschbach cliffs.

The cliffs are used by the Alpine Association for training purposes for alpine climbing and are known far beyond the region.

Today there wasn't much going on at the cliffs and so I was able to move around there undisturbed.

Comfortable short lap along great rock formations, with a beautiful view of the fog-shrouded Taunus and some great forest paths with the small stream, which my dog was once again very happy about. It was fun, even if the hoped-for mushrooms (for photos) didn't exist today :)
