Pond on the Raubacher-Jockel Trail

Beautiful facility on the Raubacher-Jockel-Weg. There is a pond to marvel at and whoever finds the bird feeder can also chirp a bit.

August 4, 2024,Olfen Hessen Jockelweg Runde

Beautiful hiking trail in Olfen, Hesse.
Rustic paths that were very wet today from the recent rain.
Easy to walk, always good ground.
Unfortunately we were also hit by rain. But with the right equipment it's almost no problem.
Nice place to stop off at the Raubacher Höhe restaurant along the way.

A beautiful hike starting in Raubach (trail marker Ra3). The route takes you along varied trails, along the Dürr-Ellenbach valley, through the idyllic Olfen, and through the Hinterbachtal nature reserve.

Very nice circular route signposted "Ra3", especially through the beautiful Hinterbachtal of the Finkenbach (nature reserve) in the second half of the route. The stories about the jockel on the extra loop aren't exactly great, but give the tour some local color. Especially good to walk on hot days through the many shady forests and the not very strenuous altitude …

October 4, 2023,🥾mit dem frühen 🐦 Raubacher-Jockel-Weg🚶🏻‍♀️

That was also on my to do list.
Paths: easy to walk. Almost only forest paths, some of which have large gravel stones, but they probably only bother me 😇. Absolute loneliness.
Area: varied trees 🌲🌳🌿🌱 and meadows. Hardly any prospects. There is pleasant shade, which makes the route perfect for the summer. In winter, probably go around midday.

Forest bathing on the Raubacher Jockel path. The path is dedicated to the Odenwald original Jakob Ihrig (1866-1941) - called "Jockel".

The last small loop leads past Jockel's gravestone and is lined with anecdotes from his life.
