Taunus hike to the new Hardtbergturm

Sunday, 28 July @ 10:00 am - 5:00 pm

A view of the Hardtbergturm, looking through the trees from below.

After a long break, Pickwicks is back in the Taunus for another adventure!

The walk will take us from Kronberg station to the Hardtbergturm. As a reward for climbing to the top of the hill, this futuristic new structure offers a beautiful view of the area from its 27 metre high platform. After the descent, the next reward is lunch at La Fattoria in Kronthal. From here it’s an easy 30-minute walk back to Kronberg.

The details:

Meeting point 1:

  • Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof
    Platform 104 (underground)
  • 09:50, to catch the S4 at 09:59

(As everyone seems to have a pensioner’s ticket or DeutschlandTicket these days, we won’t bother with group tickets any more; please get your own ticket to Kronberg).

Meeting point 2:

  • Kronberg station
  • 10:20

Trains from Kronberg back to Frankfurt run every 30 minutes; we will try to catch the S-Bahn at 16:08.

The total walking time is 3 hours, with some moderate ups and downs. It’s summer, but the weather is rather unpredictable at the moment, so please bring plenty of water to drink and protection from the rain.

If this sounds interesting, please use the “Sign Up” button below by Wednesday 24 July and indicate where you would like to meet the group!
