Ruins of the Church of Our Lady at Landstein

Highlight • Religious Site

After the restoration, the church is now a real visitor highlight. The history is presented on panels in front of the entrance and you can enter the interior through the portal. The outlines of the church have been well built up and give a good insight into the size of the church.

View of Feldberg from the Hintertaunus

Highlight • Viewpoint

@Hans-Peter: Just for info: There is NO tower here!!! The Pferdskopfturm (which you probably suspect here) is about 1.5 km away - in a north-easterly direction 😎

Rock Formations in the Taunus Forest

Highlight • Natural Monument

Great contrast - on the one hand nature with beautiful rocks, on the other hand the forest workers who have built a fascinating structure from tree trunks.

Old Town Hall and Village Fountain Finsternthal

Highlight • Historical Site

Very nice half-timbered building with slipped clock turrets 👌😎
Built around 1790, it was formerly the town hall of the Finsternthalern.
Today the building is a listed building!

Beautiful tour with sometimes breathtakingly great nature!! I took the detour via the ladder to heaven. It is a very steep and challenging path that is likely to be very slippery when wet.
