Fitness hikes 2026 of the Taunus Club
Now a fixed institution that is part of many people's weekly plans, the fitness group of the Taunusklub Bad Ems is always out on Thursdays. Regularly and on timeit getsstarted. Then a route of about 10 km is hiked quietly but not slowly – it’s not a walk. The nearby homeland around Bad Ems offers a variety of hiking options. After some time, the same way can also be taken back. The different seasons provide a different impression.
In addition to the approx. 10 km hikes, there is an additional hiking offer,which is well received. This takesplace within the framework of fitness hikes and is aimed at everyone who can no longer climb our mountains so well and cannot walk such long distances. The meeting point for the hikes and the final refreshment place usually remain the same for everyone. The (sub)-B-group hikes a shorter route (5 to 8 km) with fewer ascents.
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 transport costs incurred need to be reimbursed. The hike on the first Thursday of the month is always planned and carried out with the least possible ascents.
