Regelmäßige Fitnesswanderung

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 have constantly joined in. During the hikes, participants have sometimes braved the heat in the mornings of June this year and were still glad not to hike in the even greater midday heat. The hikes take place in “any” weather; only in cases of storm and thunderstorm warnings or extreme heat, like on June 25th, can there be changes or possibly cancellations. From January to July 2025, seven participants have already walked the required 200 km for the “German Hiking Badge”.

Regularly and punctuallyit startsand then a distance of about 10 km is hiked quietly but not sluggishly – it’s not a stroll. The local area around Bad Ems offers a variety of hiking options, and after a considerable time, the same route can also be taken back. The different seasons also 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 for those who can no longer climb our mountains as well and can't hike such long distances. The meeting point for the hikes usually remains the same for everyone. However, the B-group hikes a shorter distance (5 to 8 km) with fewer inclines.

Everyone who enjoys hiking and wants to enjoy our beautiful homeland in the fresh air is 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 carried out with as few inclines as possible.
