As already announced, this year’s Pickwicks AGM will be held on Wednesday 4 March, at Nidda Restaurant.

This will be the club’s last AGM (in its 50th year), after which we will continue as an informal group without statutes or membership fees.
We will meet as usual from 7 p.m., and the meeting will start at 8 p.m. It is suggested that those wanting to have a meal there arrive a bit earlier, at 6 or 6.30, so that there will be no interruptions to the actual meeting.
The Committee looks forward to a good turnout. Anyone may attend, but only paid-up members may vote on the points on the Agenda, which will be made available at the meeting. You can pay this year’s €5 subscription on the day, if you haven’t already done so.

Public transport: U7 / Bus M34 stop “Hausener Weg”
Parking: Brentanobad car park (€2)

Hike from Oberursel-Hohemark
2026-06-07 10:00 - 16:00 | Station Oberursel-Hohemark, Station Oberursel-Hohemark, Hohemarkstraße 190, Oberursel (Taunus), 61440, Germany

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)
Sunday 7 June
10:15

Public transport suggestions:

Alternative A
(starting at Hauptbahnhof)

09:34 Leave Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof (Platform 104)

Alternative B
(starting at Hauptwache)

09:34 Leave Frankfurt Hauptwache
(U3 towards Oberursel-Hohemark)
10:12 Arrive at Oberursel-Hohemark

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.
