August 22, 2025,Habichtswaldsteig Extratour H10 "Über den Dächern der Stadt"

I really enjoyed the walk! Great trails, beautiful views, a bit of elevation gain, and there were four places to stop for refreshments.

I chose the Hohes Gras forest restaurant and was pleasantly surprised: very cozy and good value for money.

The new H10 in the Habichtswald forest is a beautiful, varied hiking trail with trail-like, alpine sections!
It includes a few familiar attractions such as the Dönche, Teufelsmauer, Porta Lapidaria, and Hohes Gras!

Above the Herbsthäuschen, the detour to the "Kleiner Herbsthaus" hill is definitely worth it; it guarantees a great view towards Herkules and gives you the feeling of …

July 20, 2025,H10 "Über den Dächern der Stadt" 20.07.2025

In beautiful hiking weather, we explored the new H10 trail "Above the Rooftops of the City" today. We set off from the Roter Stollen parking lot, heading counterclockwise. The reason for this was that we've hiked almost all of the trails on our tours before, but most of them not in the direction we went today. The trail is well …

On my hike yesterday, I discovered the marker for the H10... a new hiking trail? I checked the internet, and sure enough, this is a new, extra tour of the Habichtswaldsteig trail. It's scheduled to open at the end of June. But when a hiking trail starts practically on my doorstep, I have to try it out immediately. So this …
