Invitation to the fitness hikes with the Taunus Club in November 2025
Now already a fixed institution that is part of many people's weekly plan, the fitness group of the Taunusklub Bad Ems is always on the move on Thursdays.
For over fourteen years, hiking has taken place weekly, and new participants have repeatedly joined. The hikes occur in “any” weather, only in cases of storm and thunderstorm warnings might there be rescheduling or possibly cancellations. Sometimes train and bus strikes can lead to changes and cancellations.
From January to October 2025, 22 participants have already hiked the required 200 km for the “German Hiking Badge.” Twelve have covered over 300 km, and one hiker has even completed 412 km in fitness hikes this year.
Regularly and punctuallyitstarts. A distance of about 10 km is hiked calmly but not slowly – it’s not a walk. The nearby homeland around Bad Ems offers a variety of hiking opportunities. After some time, the same route can also be taken back. The different seasons provide a different impression.
In addition to the approximately 10 km hikes, there is an additional hiking offer,which is well received. This takes placewithin the framework of the fitness hikes and is aimed at all who can no longer climb our mountains so well and also cannot walk such long distances. The meeting point for the hikes and the final rest location generally remain the same for everyone. The (sub-)B-group hikes a shorter distance (5 to 8 km) with fewer ascents.
All are warmly invited to the hikes, who enjoy hiking and want to enjoy our beautiful homeland in the fresh air. Participation is free; only any travel costs incurred must be reimbursed. The hike on the first Thursday of the month is always planned and carried out with as little elevation as possible.
On November 6, the meeting point is at 9:30 AM at the Westbahnhof (Lidl parking lot). From there, we will hike along the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Weg, Kapellenstraße, and the cycle path to Dausenau, and then continue on the right bank of the Lahn until Nassau. After the lunch break at the Asian restaurant Dong Nam, we will return by train to Bad Ems.
The “B” group will take the train to Nassau.
On November 13, the meeting point is at 9:30 AM at the Westbahnhof (Lidl parking lot). From there, we will head to the Hohen Malberg, then continue towards the Forsthaus, and return via the “Spieß” and the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Weg to the starting point or to the final rest in the pizzeria “San Marco” on Römerstraße.
On November 20, the meeting point is again at 9:30 AM at the Lidl parking lot at Westbahnhof. On the Lahnhöhenweg, we first hike to the Nievern sports field and from there down to the Lahn bridge. In Fachbach, we then hike up the Kaiser-Friedrich promenade and continue to Mergelkaut. From there, we return on the Ehrlichweg, first stopping at the restaurant “Adria” for a break and then heading back to the starting point.
