Now well established and part of the weekly routine for many, the fitness group of the Taunusklub Bad Ems is on the go every Thursday. Even sometimes unfriendly weather, like last autumn, does not discourage the dedicated hikers from doing something for their health and fitness. Hiking does not take place only in case of thunderstorms, storms, or heavy snowfall.

For fourteen years now, we have been hiking weekly, and new participants have joined repeatedly. In the hikes during the first two months of the year, there were usually over 30 people.

Regularly and punctuallywe startand then we cover a distance of about 10 km calmly but not dawdling – it’s not a stroll. The surrounding area around Bad Ems offers a variety of hiking possibilities, and after some time, the same path can be retraced. The different seasons provide a different and interesting impression.

In addition to the approximately 10 km hikes, there is also an additional and increasingly popular hiking offer ("B" group) as part of the fitness hikes. It is aimed at those who can no longer climb our mountains that well or can’t hike long distances. The meeting point for the hikes usually remains the same for everyone. The "B" group will then hike a shorter distance (5 to 8 km) with fewer climbs.

Everyone who enjoys hiking and wants to enjoy our beautiful homeland in the fresh air is warmly invited to the hikes. Participation is free, but any transportation costs incurred are to be reimbursed. The hike on the first Thursday of the month is always planned and carried out with minimal inclines.
