December 31, 2025,Letzte Tour 2025: Auf den Rosskopfturm

Even though it was just a short hike, it still involved some elevation gain and a scenic viewpoint. That qualifies as the last summit hike of the year, right? 😅 I hope you all had a great start to the new year! :)

A quick little 🥾 lap from the restaurant 🥘Ahrenberg up to the Rosskopf⛰️. The weather looked 🌤️good again. At the top of the ♟️Rosskopf tower, I could already hear the rumble of a thunderstorm ⛈️ from the Hanstein. It was faster than me.🤷‍♂️A little wet, I was still able to manage the last 900m.

I did this tour about four years ago. The tour is simply beautiful. I highly recommend it! If you want to stop for a bite to eat at the end, you should start from the Hotel Ahrenberg!

A varied tour with some beautiful views.
We started from the Ahrenberg car park. On farm roads we went up to the Roßkopfturm. Only the last part before the tower is a narrow path. The corresponding tracks indicate that it can be quite slippery. There are enough places to sit in and in front of the tower for a rest. …

April 21, 2025,Ahrenberg- Rosskopf 😘😍😄

Today we drove to Notdhessen, Ahrenberg near Bad Sooden Allendorf. Then we went for a hike with my sister 👩 🫶😎🌞. We went to the Rosskopf, which is 440 m high. The little detour was a mistake. You shouldn't always trust Google Maps when it comes to trails. One was shown, but it wasn't there 🤷‍♀️. We missed route 6, …

Sunny winter tour. Finally found hair ice. It's not that common to see. It requires special conditions and a fungus.
But today it worked
