Walked the dome tour for the 2nd time today. Simply with one of the most beautiful tours in the Vordertaunus - absolute recommendation! At this time of year, be sure to take plenty of water with you for fur noses! Unfortunately no refreshment opportunities along the route - but in Balduinstein.

Hey, dear ones,
Today I went on a longer tour despite the rainy weather.

Unfortunately, I missed the signpost just behind the Steinsberg horse center because it was only on one side of the post. That's why I ran straight ahead and was able to turn around.

Today the weather and the time was perfect for the delightful Küppeltour🥰
We started at the Balduinstein parking lot.
The path leads over lush meadows, extensive fields and idyllic forest paths.
