We did this walk at the end of October when the leaves were on the turn. We chose this hike for the views over the high Taunus but there is also a good mix of woodland walking too. Plenty of good panaramas but not so many that you get overload.
Just before Niedergladbach the path follows a stream where we saw loads of evidence of wild boar mudbaths. Sadly didn't see one of these very shy (but fierce!) creatures.
As with all my routes, the Garmin plot is eratic because the etrex does not like the combination of hills and trees too much, so I have provided routes I have corrected by overlaying the track on Magicmaps Hessen 3D.

Schöne Rundtour, ca. 12 km lang.
There is a good carpark at Roter Kopf, where the route starts, but beware Sunday afternoons when this is a very popular location for some short, circular walks which also start from this car park.
