You can ride wonderfully along the Schwarzbach (up to the mouth). Great with children and especially on hot days. Mostly in the shade and the stream cools additionally!

One of the important bridges and thus crossings over the country road. Not particularly pretty, but ideal for or from Kriftel.

New tenant for the café in the Old Town Hall. The Altes Rathaus Café will become Sofia’s Rathaus Café. Sofia Lee will launch in June 2026 under the motto „Tradition meets elegance“ with a mix of classic European café charm, modern accents, and homemade specialties. Update: Repair work on the electrical system, pipes, and fire protection is still ongoing -> September 26☕

Checked off”: This sculpture was purchased by the Friends of the City Museum for the Kellereiplatz

"Checked off" was initially on temporary loan to the city, but was later purchased by the city thanks to donations from the Friends of the City Museum and the Art Association, and is now a permanent part of Hofheim's cityscape.

"Checked Off" is a large stone sculpture by the sculptor Thomas Reifferscheid, located in the Kellereiplatz (Cellar Square) near the Old Water Castle in Hofheim. It was created in 2013 as part of the Hofheim Art Association's stone sculpture symposium, where several artists spent four weeks working on striking pieces for the urban space. 👉 The sculpture depicts an oversized hook made of gneiss from southern Sweden – partly roughly hewn, partly highly polished – and plays with the contrast between perfection and imperfection. The title "Checked Off" symbolically alludes to our questions about what has already been accomplished and what remains to be done.
