Now already a regular fixture that is part of many people's weekly plans, the fitness group of the Taunusklub Bad Ems is always active on Thursdays. Even less friendly weather, like that last autumn, does not deter the dedicated hikers from doing something for their health and fitness. Hiking is only canceled in case of thunderstorms, storms, or heavy snowfall.

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

We always depart regularly and on time, and then cover a distance of about 10 km in a calm but not slow manner – it is not a walk. The local area around Bad Ems offers a variety of hiking options, and after a while, the same path can also be taken again. The different seasons provide an alternative and interesting impression.

In addition to the approximately 10 km hikes, there is also an additional and increasingly accepted hiking offer (“B” group) as part of the fitness hikes. It is aimed at everyone who can no longer manage the mountains so well and cannot hike such long distances. The meeting point for the hikes usually remains the same for everyone. However, the “B” group will hike a shorter distance (5 to 8 km) with less elevation gain.

Everyone who enjoys hiking and wants to enjoy our beautiful homeland in the fresh air is cordially invited to join the hikes. Participation is free, though any travel costs incurred may need to be reimbursed. The hike on the first Thursday of the month is always planned and conducted with the least possible elevation gain.
