Taunus Club Bad Ems - Our hiking offers in August
Invitation to the fitness hikes in July 2026 every Thursday
For over fifteen years, the fitness group of the Taunusklub Bad Ems has been out and about every Thursday. New participants or guests from the hotels regularly joined in. During the hikes, participants have, at times this year, braved the heat on mornings in June and were still glad not to trek in the even hotter midday sun. The hikes take place in “every” weather, but storm and thunderstorm warnings or extreme heat, like on June 25th, may lead to changes in plans or possible cancellations. From January to July 2025, seven participants have already hiked the required 200 km for the “German Hiking Badge.”
Regularly and punctuallyit getsgoing, and a distance of about 10 km is hiked calmly but not leisurely – it’s not a walk. The immediate area around Bad Ems offers a variety of hiking options, and after a considerable time, the same path can also be retraced. The different seasons also provide a different and interesting impression.
Alongside the approximately 10 km hikes, there is also an additional and increasingly popular hiking offer (B-Group) as part of the fitness hikes for all who can no longer climb our mountains as well and cannot hike such long distances. The meeting point for hikes remains mostly the same for everyone. However, the B-Group hikes a shorter distance (5 to 8 km) with fewer inclines.
All who enjoy hiking and want to enjoy our beautiful homeland in the fresh air are warmly invited to 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 possibly minimal inclines.
On August 6th the meeting point is at 9:30 a.m. by the Lidl parking lotat the Westbahnhof. From there, it proceeds over the Ernst-Vogler-Weg, the (nearly) Bismarckhöhe and Geiersheck towards Höhenhaus and Ramberghütte to Dausenau with a stop at the “Pizzeria Roma” near the campsite.
The B-Group hikes along the valley by the Lahn to Dausenau and returns by train. This makes up for the hike that was cancelled due to extreme heat on June 25th.
On August 13th it goes from the meeting point at 9:30 a.m. at the Westbahnhof (Lidl parking lot)
through the spa park to Schillereck and over the Sonnenhalde to Repselskopf. From there, you go down to Grabenstraße, continue through Schlesierweg to Bismarckhöhe, and then down to Bad Ems for a break at the “Alt Ems” restaurant.
On August 20th the meeting point is at 9:30 a.m. in the Lidl parking lot at the Westbahnhof. From there, it goes over the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Weg, the Henriettensäule, the Spieß to the lock at Dausenau. After crossing the Lahn, it goes back on the right bank of the Lahn, with a final stop at the “Lahnterrasse.”
On August 27th the meeting point is at 9:30 a.m. at the Westbahnhof (Lidl parking lot). From there, it goes over Kaiser-Wilhelm-Weg, Kapellenstraße, and the cycle path to Dausenau, and then continues on the right bank of the Lahn to Nassau. After a lunch break at the “Zur Krone” restaurant, it goes back by train to Bad Ems.
The B-Group takes the train to Nassau and goes there on a circular route.
All wonderful destinations and interesting routes that actually invite you to join in, and therefore the cordial invitation to be there and do something good for yourself and your fitness.
