Black path: Steep climb

There are multiple ways to get to the "Platte", here is my favourite
Pass the Kurpark and take the path “R” to Sonnenberg
In Sonnenberg you need to ride on the main road until you reach the turn off to the Goldsteintal.
Tip: Short before the street leaves the town in a slight right curve and crosses the small river(Crossing Dudenstraße/ Goldsteintal), keep going straight at the crossing on a path that looks like a dead end (this single trail is not shown on the map, please refer to the picture from Google Earth).


You will have to pass a few steps down after approximately 300 m to stay next to the river. Keep going until you hit the street, pass the Schützenhaus, now keep going straight to the Hubertushütte. (recommended by "Wiesbaden geht aus"). Follow the path right next to the Goldsteinbach as far as possible, then head for the “Idsteiner Eiche” and from there on the red path with the black dot to the Kolhaas Eiche. There are many other ways to get to the Platte and as long as it takes you uphill, you can’t be wrong.

Return via Chaussehaus to Frauenstein, where you can enjoy a cool drink and good food with a splendid view on the Rheingau at the Nürnberger Hof.
Alternatively pass Schloß Freudenberg (a great place to visit with the family) and have an Apple wine at the Apfelweinstube Himmelreich, also highly recommendable for a snack or try the Gutsausschank Kirschfeld just a few meters further serving excellent food.
