Now established as a regular event that is part of many people's weekly schedule, the fitness group of the Taunusklub Bad Ems is always on the move on Thursdays. Even less pleasant weather, as experienced last autumn, does not deter the dedicated hikers from doing something for their health and fitness. Walking will not take place only during thunderstorms, storms, or heavy snowfall.
For fourteen years now, there has been weekly hiking and new participants have joined continuously. In the first two months of the year, there were usually more than 30 people participating in the hikes.
Regularly and punctuallywe set off and then walk a distance of about 10 km at a calm but not leisurely pace – it’s not a stroll. The immediate area around Bad Ems offers a variety of hiking options, and after some time, the same route can be taken again. The different seasons provide a unique and interesting impression.
In addition to the approximately 10 km hikes, there is also an additional hiking offer ("B-group") that is increasingly popular within the framework of fitness hikes. It is aimed at everyone who can no longer climb our mountains well and cannot hike such long distances. The meeting point for the hikes usually remains the same for everyone. The "B-group" will hike a shorter distance (5 to 8 km) with fewer inclines.
Everyone who loves hiking and wants to enjoy our beautiful homeland in the fresh air is warmly invited to join the hikes. Participation is free; only any incurred travel costs need to be reimbursed. The hike on the first Thursday of the month is always planned and conducted with minimal inclines.
