The name Pfeifenbäckerhalle already reveals that Hilgert is a location for the ceramics trade. Various craft businesses still produce the famous Kannenbäckerland ceramics here today.From the starting point on Waldstrasse, our hiking route leads through the town of Hilgert. We soon leave the settlement and follow farm tracks through an open pasture landscape. Our descent into the Masselbachtal begins in the forests. At Grenzau train station, which can be reached via a short detour, we also find a restaurant for refreshments.We now follow the small stream valley with its meadows and forests to Hundsdorf. Nature is currently reclaiming the forest areas that have been cleared in recent years. Blooming landscapes emerge here, especially in spring.In the last section of our hike, we pass the GeoTop Glockenschächte, a relic of the historical clay mining in the Kannenbäckerland.
Hilgert can be reached via the state road 307 from Höhr-Grenzhausen and Ransbach-Baumbach. The starting point is the Pfeifenbäckerhalle or the sports ground.
The bus line VRM 425 connects Hilgert to the towns of Höhr-Grenzhausen, Ransbach-Baumbach, Wirges and Montabaur on weekdays and weekends.
There are sufficient public parking spaces available at the sports ground on Waldstrasse.
In Hilgert, the famous pottery of the Kannenbäckerland region is still produced by hand in pottery workshops. It's worth a visit!
