View of Schwalbach Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't ideal for my hike on the "Aarway to Heaven," so I couldn't get a good picture of Schwalbach Castle! Have fun on the Aar Loop, everyone!

Picnic Area With View of the Aartal Valley

Highlight • Rest Area

From the Wehrholz the view into the Aartal is particularly beautiful because the slope drops very steeply here and the valley therefore appears particularly deep

Bench with a view of the River Aar

Highlight • Viewpoint

When the water is low, the Aar River is dammed by some boulders, creating a small waterfall. A beautiful sight.

October 9, 2025,09.10.25 Aar-Schleife "Aarway to heaven" - Herbstliche Regenwanderung

The loop probably got its name from the fact that you walk mostly outdoors over a hill between Hausen via Aar and Burgschwalbach. Only the last two kilometers lead through forest, then a section along the Aar. The rest of the route runs along the edge of the forest. So, you're exposed to the weather almost the entire time. Keep …

I shortened the last 250 meters of the tour because the parking lot was already in sight, and I didn't want to make an extra loop through Rückershausen. On the way back, this Komoot tour deviates from the original in the final few meters in Rückershausen! Please follow the signs for the entire tour.

September 10, 2025,Aar-Schleife 🥾 "Aarway to Heaven"

Today, I only had a small window of time after work. The days are getting shorter week by week, so the routes can't be particularly long. That's why I chose this relatively new Aar Loop. As a fan of rock music, the name of this tour intrigued me and led me to choose this loop.

Today was the official opening of the first Aarschleife (Aar Loop Trail). More are to follow.
Komoot had actually suggested a few hikes on Madeira for me this weekend, but you don't want to miss a hiking event like this, especially in your hometown. 🤭
74 participants were counted. Along the way, there were pretzels and apple wine or juice, …

March 22, 2025,Aar-Schleife: Rückershausen - Aarway to Heaven

Wow, a surprisingly beautiful route for this new Aar Loop in Aarbergen. We really enjoyed it. Excellent signage almost throughout. Lots of lovely rest stops. Just right for today's weather. The view towards the Westerwald is worth it. Only conditionally recommended in hot and rainy weather. The paths are not yet well-trodden and could become very muddy in prolonged rain.

Hey. Another ride in the Taunus mountains today. Great weather. One of the new loops along the Aare River. The route could be tweaked a bit. Getting closer to Burgschwalbach would be nice.

But it was great. Cheers and see you soon.

A very beautiful and varied hike with great panoramic views in all directions.

At the very beginning of the tour, you can fill your water bottles at the Antonius-Sprudel spring in Rückershausen.

Shortly before the end of our hike, we coincidentally met the trail guardian and had a very nice conversation. It is truly great that there are people who …

We haven't met so many hikers on one of our rounds for a long time. 🤭
Today, the next Aar loop. In contrast to the last one ("Freistaat Flaschenhals"), this one was great! Nice trail guidance, top views, and plenty of resting spots. This tour is (except for one spot) excellently signposted. Nevertheless, we got "lost" once and missed the …
