Hinterlandswaldstraße

Highlight • Trail

The Hinterlandswald special purpose association was founded in 1939 with the aim of more intensive forest management. To improve access to the remote forest areas, the Reich Labor Service built the 13-kilometer-long Hinterlandswaldstraße. It leads from Hausen vor der Höhe along the ridge between the Ernstbach and Gladbach valleys to the north and is paved with asphalt up to the end of the ridge line. Then it climbs down the steep slopes of the Wisper valley to Laukenmühle in a series of curves.

Rheingauer Gebück Old Beech Trees

Highlight • Natural Monument

A little off the Hinterlandswaldstraße you can still find a few old beeches that were once part of the Rheingauer Gebück. The trees are now fully grown, but you can still see at the bottom of the trunks that they used to be twisted and braided. Some trees may have reached their maximum lifespan and fallen or are rotten.

Kiedricher or Hausener Bastion

Highlight • Monument

At the end of the steep climb from Eltville via Kiedrich to Hausen vor der Höhe, then a magnificent descent to the Wispertal to Lorch, fantastic.

March 21, 2022,Saisonbeginn nach langer Abstinenz "Eingewöhnungsrunde HLW" 21.03.2022

After a long period of abstinence, got the bike fit again and did a little familiarization round. 2 Op's didn't leave me without a trace and the recovery time was pretty long! But thank God everything is ok again and I feel good again and am now trying to make up for the lost year!
