Hiking

Green hills, a stately castle and wonderful distant views - pure Taunus awaits you on Richard-Hofmann-Weg. The almost 22 kilometer long route takes you around all five districts of Eppstein. The path is named after Richard Hofmann, who was mayor of Eppstein for three decades and who campaigned for the establishment of the circular path. The path is maintained today by the Eppstein Transport and Improvement Association.

The tour starts at Eppsteiner Stadtbahnhof. You walk on partly historical paths through the varied Taunus landscape and past several sights. A visit to Eppstein Castle, which towers majestically over the city, is worthwhile right at the beginning.

On the way you will pass several places to stop for refreshments to gain new strength. The varied landscape around Eppstein is a great way to go - a wonderful hike for the whole family. And if the entire route is too long for you, you can also get on the S-Bahn halfway in Niederjosbach and drive back to the starting point.

Eppstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

The Eppsteiner Burg proudly towers over the old town with its half-timbered houses and cobblestone streets. It is older than the place itself and can be visited. Nowadays you will also find the city and castle museum inside. A visit is not only worthwhile for the annual castle festival.

View of Atzelberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you can see not only the Atzelberg itself, but also the striking tower on its summit: The so-called “Atzelturm” offers an impressive panoramic view of the surrounding Taunus landscape and the Rhine-Main region.

Owl Trail Nature Path Bremthal

Highlight • Trail

There are perhaps even nicer nature trails, but this one leads through a fantastic forest! The forest itself would be worth a visit.

February 11, 2023,"Rund um Eppstein, Richard-Hofmann-Weg", allerdings ohne Eppstein,

Veronika put together a really challenging tour today - for our standards. The signposted tour "Rund um Eppstein, Richard-Hofmann-Weg" of the Eppstein Beautification Association, but without Eppstein, as we have already "haunted" it on another tour. The Richard-Hofmann-Weg was established in 2006 by the beautification association and marked with the imperial temple symbol as a signpost. It is about 21 …

I recently discovered the tour at @Susa 🍀 and then did some research on the internet again, thanks for the inspiration!
We started in Bremthal near the tegut and then followed the symbol with the imperial temple and the name Rundweg Eppstein in an anti-clockwise direction. After the Carla Hilda rock we left the official route to save ourselves the …

So today a tour according to "plan"...
And yes, I was not involved in the plan... 😇 but a very nice tour.
Eppstein Castle was closed for construction work, which was a pity if you ever go there 🤷🏼‍♂️.

The rain of the last few days had made it a bit muddy, but 🤷🏼‍♂️... that's the way it is. When …
