Circular hike from the herb café into the Nutscheid forest area
This hike around the 335-meter-high Hülsberg takes you from Geilenkausen via Ommeroth and Bladersbach back to the starting point. You'll hike among grasses swaying in the breeze with the sun at your back. Halfway along the route, you can catch a glimpse of the Ommeroth estate, a former missile launch site, and are guaranteed to encounter some larger, neighing four-legged creatures. You can round off your hike afterwards at the herb café in Geilenkausen.
