The Erlenbach originates northeast of the Sandplacken in the Taunus and flows into the Nidda west of Bad Vilbel after about 30 kilometers. It owes its name to the alders …

My recommendation: Don't just cycle past the former Roman fort, but also visit the worthwhile Saalburg Museum 👌😎

Slope path with panorama of the Hintertaunus

Highlight • Viewpoint

The bark beetle and the associated clearing of larger forest areas now opens up the panoramic view. On the three slope paths above Neu-Anspach, Obernhain and Hessenpark this can now be seen again and again in sections.

Herzberg Tower and Herzberg Inn

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Herzberg tower you have a wonderful panoramic view. The Berggasthof Herzberg offers the perfect opportunity for a rest before the descent. Hot meals served all day.

Limes Trail Singletrack

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Usually highly recommended trail! Currently (end of March 2020) due to the many fallen trees rather problematic ... 😕

Jupiter Column on the Feldberg

Highlight • Monument

A little below the Saalburg on the way to Hohemark you will be surprised by this very high, impressive column. The gold-plated figure on the top shines most beautifully at dusk.

Weberpfad at the Kirdorfer Bach

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Directly along the stream and over several small bridges leads this beautiful trail. In the upper area he even earns the name Singletrail, but is very slippery after rain.

Thunderstorms were forecast, but the rain radar looked good. And then it hit us after all 😄
