Hike from Oberursel-Hohemark

It’s been a while since our traditional Pickwick New Year’s walk, so it’s high time we got out again! René has looked through his Taunus hiking routes and combined two short walks into one ‘proper’ hike:

Starting in Oberursel-Hohemark, the Keltenrundwanderweg (Celtic Trail) showcases the remains of an important pre-Roman Celtic settlement. This comparatively short circular route (with some inclines) takes us back to Hohemark for a quick break. The second part of the route is slightly longer but flatter, taking us to the Hünerberg hill before returning to Hohemark for a late lunch.

The details:

Meeting point:

• Oberursel-Hohemark station (U3)

The Walk:

The total length of the comparatively easy walk is about 11.5 km.

The first part is just over 4 km long and starts uphill, following the signposted Keltenrundwanderweg. We should pass Hohemark again around 11:30.

The second part is just over 7 km long and starts in the opposite direction. It passes the Klinik Hohe Mark sanatorium and continues slightly uphill to the Hünerberg hill. It then leads us back to Hohemark, where we will end the walk with lunch at the Waldtraut restaurant in the Taunus-Informationszentrum at around 2 pm.
