Trips to the Taunus

30 selected F.A.Z.-Wanderungen

F.A.Z. Wanderautor, who has already taken his readers on "Ausflüge in und um Rhein-Main", zu den Kelten und an den Mittelrhein, now invites you to take relaxing "Ausflüge in den Taunus". In thirty selected tours, the 3000 square kilometre low mountain range can be explored in all its facets. The natural diversity, the many sights and the exciting history of the area make a discovery tour through the Taunus a particularly worthwhile and exciting undertaking. Whether you want to see picturesque half-timbered houses, follow in the footsteps of the Celts and Romans or plan to visit castles and palaces, whether you want to stroll through deep forests, look down on an impressive quarry or climb the Eschbach Cliffs - this book has the right tour for every taste.

As a rule, the starting points are easily accessible points such as public transport stations. The tours are designed in such a way that there is always enough time to visit museums or sights along the way and to stop off at particularly worthwhile places. Appropriate tips are of course also included in the respective tour descriptions. Klein begins each tour with an introductory text, in which either the history of the places along which one hikes, or salient features are discussed. These introductory texts are quite informative in their brevity and are written in such an appealing way that the reader quickly gets the desire to strap on his hiking boots and set out on the trail.

This is then also easy to find, because the actual route descriptions are written well understandable and are very clear precisely because they are limited to the most necessary information. A small map to the respective tours, pictures and a final box in which all the important information is once again summarized, not only raise the information content of the book, but also make it extremely appealing to the reader.

Thomas F. Klein succeeds again in "Ausflüge in den Taunus" to make his readers great desire to leave the cozy living room couch, pack his backpack and explore selected regions on beautiful walks. Whether Saalburg, Hessenpark, Bad Soden, Kronberg or the idyllic Möttauer Weiher near Weilmünster, it is simply fun to get ideas for relaxing excursions in this book. So if you would like to see for yourself how versatile the Taunus is in every respect and that there are still many new things to discover even in well-known places, this book can be warmly recommended.
