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.

Emperor's Temple, Eppstein

Highlight • Monument

From the castle town of Eppstein, high up on the slope of the Staufen, you can see a classic temple like from the time of the ancient Greeks. Those who take the steep path up to have a closer look will be rewarded with a fantastic view. The Große Mannstein is located very close by and there is a restaurant right next to the Imperial Temple, from whose terrace you can also enjoy the view. Be careful on the descent. The road is narrow, steep and in the hard-to-see curves a car can come towards you if you are not expecting it.

Meisterturm, Hofheim

Highlight • Monument

From this tower you have a fantastic view over the Rhine-Main plain. In clear weather you can see as far as Darmstadt and further.
Climbing the tower is not for everyone. The landings are all covered in gratings, and when you walk up the tower starts to sway slightly. You notice it even more at the top of the platform. We like that :-).

Very beautiful. It gives you a holiday feeling. A few more steps and the Mediterranean Sea catches your eye.
