If you want to tackle the hard climb on the three-arbor heads, this is a great opportunity - provided it is filled - to cool down the leg muscles again. ;)

August 21, 2022,Auf den Spuren des Eselpfads ab Schlangenbad

The donkeys used to be used by the spa guests of Schlangenbad to ride rented donkeys to the neighboring wine village of Rauenthal - the donkeys probably knew the way home if the guests had drunk a wine or two too many. Today, on the site of the old donkey rental station, there is only a tin donkey filled with …

September 1, 2024,Eselspfad beim Schlangenbad

Today we went on a lovely tour along the donkey path. The path is aptly named. It is mainly a lovely path. The last third is a bit overgrown in places, but it is still easy to get through. The Kneipp basin is well filled with fresh water. The path leads along the stream and the dogs were able to …

May 1, 2025,Auf den Spuren des Eselspfades ‒ die schönsten Wanderungen im Taunus

I've had this tour on my to-do list for a long time. I decided to do it spontaneously this morning. There aren't any particular highlights here. However, the tour takes you along many narrow trails and rustic paths. The route is also mostly shaded, which was a plus given today's temperatures.

Rauenthal offers numerous places to stop for refreshments and picnic areas. Following the historic donkey trail, which 200 years ago transported spa guests from Schlangenbad to the wine village …

‼️The elevation gain was only about 190
We actually wanted to go to the Ehrbachklamm again today. Due to the temperatures, this plan was swapped for the shorter donkey path from Schlangenbad with a subsequent stop at the "Little Cake Shop" 😋.

10 of us set off and had a relaxing Sunday.

March 20, 2023,Auf Spuren des Eselspfades 🚶🏼‍♀️🚶🏻‍♂️

We discovered today's tour in hiking magazine #216 from autumn 2022.
When I (Frank) drove past Schlangenbad this morning after work, it didn't look like hiking weather. Drizzle and Fog! Luckily the rain and fog cleared, so that we could start in Schlangenbad around noon. The first part of the trail followed the Mühlenwanderweg - an approx. 11 km long …

First the following notes:

1. This tour officially begins at the Adelheidtal car park in Schlangenbad. But since it also leads through this small parking lot next to the B260, we decided on this as the starting point. - the Efenwerk bus …
