Cattle Meadows

Highlight • Natural

The transformation of the twelve hectares of former arable land into a pasture landscape represents an ecological upgrade. Extensive grazing with cattle has resulted in a species-rich open meadow landscape. For this purpose, previously existing asphalt and concrete paths were dismantled, meadows were sown and an area was protected as a "succession area" for its natural further development represents.

Bonifatiuskreuz Eschborn

Highlight • Monument

The Eschborn Bonifatius Cross, a stone cross made of Bockenheim basalt, stood until 1934 about 100 meters east of the point where the old Roman road "Elisabethenstraße" crosses the Eschborn-Sossenheim connecting road. Together with a medieval wayside shrine and another small stone, the cross had to be demoted Construction of the Frankfurt-Wiesbaden autobahn (today A 66) give way.The first on-site investigations were carried out by Dr. H.F. Friederich in 1922. He found that the cross was embedded in a stone slab about one meter below today's level in the former Roman road The painter and local historian Hanny Franke drew and photographed the group of monuments at the end of the 1920s. He first associated the cross with the funeral procession of Boniface. Signs are scratched into the shaft of the cross, the meaning of which is still disputed. Franke interpreted the characters as the "Merovingian characters" B B Q, which he read as "Beatus Bonifatius Ouievit" (Here rested Saint Boniface). Others think it is a medieval expiatory cross. From 1934 onwards, the "Boniface Cross" was in the Historical Museum in Frankfurt, where it was badly damaged in an air raid in 1944. After the war, it was restored with great care and is now on permanent loan from the Historical Museum in Frankfurt, in the Eschborn Museum.

Peace Tree, Main-Taunus Arboretum

Highlight • Monument

The text of the inscription reads: "In Kiev/Ukraine, the site of a former camp for German prisoners of war was transformed into a park in the 1950s. The grounds of the arboretum also served the war for decades: as an airfield in World War II, then as an American military camp and camp for German prisoners of war. One of the survivors of the Kiev captivity picked up a chestnut tree in the Ukrainian park in 1999. From this grew this tree, which bears witness here in the Arboretum, where trees from all over the world stand peacefully side by side, that enmity between peoples can be overcome.”

Main-Taunus Arboretum

Highlight • Forest

The Main-Taunus Arboretum is a park-like woodland landscape of approximately 76 hectares located between Eschborn, Schwalbach, and Sulzbach. It was established in the early 1980s as compensatory reforestation for the expansion of Frankfurt Airport on the site of a former airfield.

Today, over 600 species of trees and shrubs from the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere grow here. Instead of individual display trees, complete forest communities have been planted, allowing visitors to experience a small "botanical world tour" through forests from Europe, North America, and Asia along its walking paths.

The freely accessible arboretum combines nature experiences, environmental education, and recreation and is considered one of the most important tree collection areas in the region – a tranquil, green contrast to the nearby metropolis of Frankfurt.

A beautifully landscaped, large landscaped park with wide grass areas and interesting plantings in between. You can also find a "peace tree" here. A real highlight for every tour.
