A very pleasant restaurant with good food, a pleasant ambiance, and consistently attentive staff. About Wehen Castle: The castle was built around 1330 by Count Gerlach I of Nassau-Weilburg. It stands on the remains of a medieval castle – a smaller structure (e.g., a tower castle) may have existed there previously. Over the centuries, the castle has served various functions: as a court and administration building, a widow's residence, and a hunting lodge. It was also sometimes used for refugees or as living space. Today, it is a listed building. Museum: The Wehen Castle Museum has been located in the castle since 1995. The collection focuses on the regional and everyday history of Taunusstein/Wehen, such as life after the Second World War, local businesses and everyday life, as well as temporary exhibitions, such as art. In 2023, there was an expansion: three additional rooms on the ground floor were added to the exhibition "Taunusstein History(s) Retold," including exhibits on regional history. Wedding Room: Wehen Castle offers one of the wedding rooms of the Taunusstein Registry Office.

🚰 Continuous water fountain near Zollhaus – cool refreshment along the trail A real insider tip on the Aartal Cycle Path: The acidic water fountain near Zollhaus provides fresh, clear water even on hot days – directly from the tap, always available. Ideal for cyclists and hikers who want to refill their water bottles or simply take a short break. 💧 Tip: Have a cup or bottle handy – the water runs continuously, without the need to press a button. A quiet helper along the trail – and worth its weight in gold, not just in the summer heat.
