Highlight • Trail

A beautiful hiking trail leads through the so-called Preißbachtal on both sides of the Liesenfelder Bach. I don't understand why the stream has a different name than the valley, but …

To warm up, I need a lap at the beginning of the week that runs smoothly on nice paths, as close to a stream as possible and not TOO strenuous... there should still be room for improvement.
The tour from Emmelshausen to Baunhöller Mühle and back is exactly such a tour. You don't walk the same way there and back... …

October 26, 2023,Lieblingsrunde Zur Baunhöller Mühle

Today I wanted to see the Baunhöller mill and the beautiful hiking trail there (and back). The route is comfortable and relaxed to hike, without any special demands on fitness or sure-footedness, and perhaps that's why it's so beautiful. There was still no shortage of photo opportunities, and the (autumn) weather played along too.

Whenever I need a route with a precise time frame, the first thing I do is reach into the box of hiking routes and find this one. The path is beautiful, easy to walk, and even if at first glance it looks as if the outward and return routes are identical...that's not the case. Both paths have the same start …

Finally a slightly longer walk...or just a short hike.
In the beautiful PREIẞBACHTAL, like elsewhere, edge clearances, or whatever you want to call it, have been carried out... The path now somehow reminds me of a motorway entrance that is under construction 😳 and I very much hope that everything that was green and blooming there, also comes back quickly. …

This is a nice little round for, as we say: Between soup, salad and coffee, although you can also enjoy all of that in the Baunhöller Mühle. And for once I even stayed dry today 😉

April 24, 2024,Emmelshausen - Baunhöller Mühle und noch ein bisschen weiter

I haven't been here for a while, and even though the weather wasn't the best, I set off again today: from Emmelshausen down to the Baunhöller Mühle and a little further. I didn't make it all the way to the Sauerbrunnen; it was simply too cold for me. However, I did hear a black woodpecker, then saw one, as well …

I've done the tour a few times now, but there's always something new to discover along the way in this beautiful valley 😃
