December 18, 2021,Habichtswaldsteig H2 ohne Ostrunde

Today I tackled the H2 extra tour from the Habichtswaldsteig in thick fog
However, the eastern round was left out
I'll do it all over again with friends in the spring (right Katja? 😍)
So it was 12 km, otherwise it is completely about 16-17 km
But the signs ... my God a horror ...

June 7, 2022,Mittelgebirgsstürmer Runde auf den Hohen Dörnberg

Today I made my way to the Hohen Dörnberg with my "new" Mittelgebirgstürmer stamp booklet.
I really want to hike up such a low mountain range lunch box that goes with the thermos flask 😁

The weather was mixed... Sun, clouds and rain - it was all there.

December 11, 2021,Habichtswald: Grenzenlose Freiheit auf dem Dörnberg✨

After we thought about what we were doing today and where we were going to hike for a long time yesterday, it was suddenly clear this morning: on the Dörnberg! 🐾
At first it seemed like we missed the blue sky, but the sun didn't let us down. At first as if it was just about to rise and then …

January 23, 2022,Alpenpfad Hoher Dörnberg - Helfersteine - Runde von Zierenberg

On the road in northern Hesse. From Zierenberg on the Alpenpfad with lots of juniper and great views of the Wolfhagen country. Continue along unfamiliar paths to the Wichtelkirche, which is just a shapeless rock but is surrounded by legends, over the Berg Kaffee and then right up to the Hoher Dörnberg. My first ascent. Down and back over meadows …

February 16, 2025,Dörnberg im Winter

The sun was shining from the sky, so I put on my hiking boots and headed for Dörnberg. A beautiful walk, where I even saw deer crossing my path. I stopped for a moment and whistled because I wasn't sure if there were more hidden in the bushes. I was almost knocked over by a deer once.
The weather meant …

May 24, 2026,H2 Panoramawanderung Hoher Dörnberg mit Judy 🥰🏔️

One of the most beautiful circular hikes in the vicinity was just right for the scorching Pentecost Sunday: the slightly modified H2 Extratour around the Hohen Dörnberg (578 m) near Zierenberg. The views on the section, not for nothing called the Alpine Trail, are simply breathtaking, and the Helfensteine or the diligently starting gliders also offer high visual appeal ⛰️🌞🥾. …

June 10, 2025,Helfensteine – Hoher Dörnberg Runde von Zierenberg

Yesterday's visit to the Dörnberg area was primarily focused on spotting orchids. The mosquito orchid, the chrysalicylic orchid, the fly orchid, and the greater twayblade were particularly abundant. I also found the impressive bee orchid, the helmet orchid, the two-leaved wood hyacinth, and the white helleborine.
