Eppstein — Old Town and Castle

Highlight • Castle

Eppstein is worth a visit: The train station is an ideal starting or finishing point for a cycling or mountain bike tour in the Taunus. Its restaurants invite you to take a break and the surrounding sights, such as the Kaisertempel, can be visited on beautiful trails.

Silberbach Valley

Highlight • Gorge

Source & Course: The Silberbach stream rises in the High Taunus mountains near Schloßborn (municipality of Glashütten). From there, it flows southeast through the wooded Silberbach Valley.

Mouth: It flows into the Schwarzbach stream, which in its upper reaches, up to its confluence with the Daisbach stream in Eppstein, is often still referred to as the Dattenbach. The mouth of the Schwarzbach lies between Glashütten-Schloßborn and Eppstein-Vockenhausen.

Special Features: The Silberbach Valley is considered ecologically valuable and is managed by the BUND (Friends of the Earth Germany) Königstein-Glashütten branch. The name may historically suggest a stony streambed or former mining attempts.

Recreation: A popular hiking trail is the Silberbach Loop, which leads from Dattenbach Valley, passing, among other things, the Atzelberg Tower.

Rettershof Estate

Highlight • Historical Site

The Rettershof has a long history. There was a monastery here as early as the 12th century. Today the farm is a popular tourist destination with a guest house, hotel and still running a farm. The location is fantastic between forest and meadows.

View of the valley near Fischbach

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The cycle path leads along the busy B455, but if you let your eyes wander along the road, you will be rewarded with a very nice view of a really beautiful landscape. A short stop is always worthwhile to look at the surroundings.
