Discover Waldsolms: Golf and Hiking

As a destination, Waldsolms appeals to travelers who want to include hiking and golf in their plans. The Attighof Golf Course is located in the municipality, and marked and long-distance hiking trails also pass through Waldsolms territory. When choosing where to stay, you can start by deciding whether a circular hiking trail, a section of a longer route, or the golf course as a specific point of interest matters most to you.

Hiking Trails and Tours in Waldsolms

The marked Butterfly Trail circular hiking route passes through the Waldsolms municipal area. Sections of the Huguenot and Waldensian Trail also run through Waldsolms territory. This means there are two types of trails to consider: a marked circular hiking route and sections of a long-distance hiking trail. The “Wanderbares Waldsolms” hiking brochure covers 24 tours through the municipality and its surroundings. With this number of tours, it offers a broad overview of routes in the municipal area and surrounding region. Check whether the brochure is available before making your plans.

The difference between a circular route and sections of a long-distance hiking trail is a useful first point of reference as you narrow down your options. When planning a tour, you can also take the scope of the brochure’s offerings into account.

Golf as a Travel Focus

The Attighof Golf Course is located in Waldsolms and is a specific point of interest for travelers interested in golf. If golf is a major part of your trip, you can take this focus into account when choosing your destination. For hiking enthusiasts, the Butterfly Trail, sections of the Huguenot and Waldensian Trail, and the 24 tours in the brochure offer different options. Planning can begin with the question of which activity is most important to you.
