Outflow of the equalizing reservoir Meckenbach. Not a natural waterfall, but still nice to look at.

Market square with fountain and timber-framed houses, Herborn

Highlight • Historical Site

The houses around the fountain on the market square, including the old town hall, have been superbly restored and are a pleasure to look at together. Here you can imagine what the market was like 300 - 400 years ago.

In the old town, in addition to the beautiful half-timbered houses, the witches' tower, the Dillturm, the Leonhardsturm, the Bürgerturm and Herborn Castle are also worth seeing.
