The Friedberg district of Ockstadt is known far beyond the region's borders for its cherries. Over 40,000 cherry trees grow here, making it a true cherry paradise, which is especially worth exploring in spring when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. When there's a light breeze, you can almost feel like you're in Japan here – the veritable snowstorm of blossoms is in no way inferior to the famous Japanese cherry blossom season. Well protected from cold winds and late frosts, the cherry trees on the Taunus slopes around Ockstadt have always thrived – cherry cultivation has been practiced here since the late 18th century. Those with a sweet tooth are best off hiking here in summer, when the red fruits are sold everywhere.
