Hardtberg Tower (32.3 m) - Königstein i.T. 🚴‍♂️

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great, modern architecture... and the view is simply amazing 👍
At 32 meters, it is now twice as high as the original tower!
By the way, there is also a very interesting line of sight here: the castle tower of the Falkenstein ruins and the telecommunications tower of the Großer Feldberg are on the same line.

Kronthaler Springs

Highlight • Natural Monument

Beautifully landscaped spring park that invites you to take a break. You can also use a Kneipp pool. A Sauerbrunnen was first mentioned in a document in the small valley in the middle of the 16th century. The sources continue to shape its history to this day. The economic use of the Kronthal began with the discovery of the healing properties of the water by the Kronberg medical officer Ferdinand Küster in 1818. He had the first springs surrounded and smaller spa facilities built. In 1823, the Frankfurt merchant Johann Adam Osterrieth came onto the scene and set up a stock corporation to compete with the existing spa facilities.
Around 1840, the Kronthal experienced a heyday and was known far beyond today's national borders. It was also Osterrieth who had a spacious spa park created in the style of an English landscape garden. The bottling operation in Kronthal was discontinued in 2005. Today you can still draw mineral water yourself from two springs.

Badbachtal path

Highlight • Trail

On a narrow path you will be led through the Badbachtal here. Large ferns along the way give the path a bit of a rustic look. Here it is worth looking for the fruits of the chestnuts, which can sometimes grow here.

November 2, 2025,Taunus, Mammolshain, Kronberg

Despite the rain, we start our hike in the sweet chestnut village of Mammolshain.

Here, sweet chestnut discovery trails have been created. Three circular routes of varying lengths lead through Mammolshain, to the Hardtberg hill, and into the Kronthal valley.

We don't climb the Hardtberg tower because the rain obscures the view.

This was my first hike in a long time after my knee injury, so no steep slopes, the hike was ok, but I think it's nicer in the summer. There was snow and it was very gray with fog.... but we then drove to Feldberg and there we were met with great weather ☀️.
