  From Hohemark to Altkönig, to Kleiner Felder, to Großer Feldberg, and finally back to Hohemark.
  Quite a challenge, out of hiking paths through the mountain, steep climbs along the way.

• 7 November 2020 – from Schmitten – trace & pictures
  From Schmitten to Großer Feldberg, the highest point in the Taunus mountain range, at 879.5 m above sea level.
  Mountain forest almost all the way, ideal for a long hike.

  Quite physical / steep hike, first kilometres with forest, continues with beautiful views uphill.

• 20 April 2020 – from Dietzenbach – trace & pictures
  Long but mostly flat hike. From Dietzenbach station (S-Bahn S2), alternating between urban, forest, meadows, farms and fields.
  After going through the urban part (~ 3-4 km from the station to reach the woods), still very much worth it.
