Nerobergbahn Funicular

Highlight • Monument

Rack and pinion funicular railway powered by water. The drive system of the Nerobergbahn is ingenious and innovative. The carriage travelling downhill is filled with up to 7,000 litres of water at the mountain station and pulls the other carriage uphill using a steel cable. When the carriage travelling downhill reaches the bottom, the water is drained and pumped back uphill.

The two carriages have to travel 440 metres and overcome a gradient of up to 25 percent, and this has been the case since 1888.

Monopteros on the Neroberg

Highlight • Monument

A beautiful view over Wiesbaden and far beyond in the Odenwald and Rheinhessen. As you could see from the many petals, they just got married again here.

Russian Orthodox Church of Wiesbaden

Highlight • Religious Site

The beautiful church of the Russian Orthodox community. From here you also have a view of Wiesbaden. The history of the community is told on information boards on the wall of the nearby cemetery. Very informative! The path uphill leads via the Opelbad to the Nerobergpark.

Platte Hunting Lodge

Highlight • Historical Site

The hunting lodge was built in 1823-1826 by Duke Wilhelm I of Nassau. Destroyed to the outside walls in the Second World War, it is currently being gradually rebuilt by the Jagdschloss Platte e.V.
The castle can already be used for events.
From here, hikes along the main Taunus ridge can be undertaken.
We recommend a detour to the highlight "beautiful view of Wiesbaden" (komoot.de/highlight/181783).

Nerobergbahn Funicular

Highlight • Monument

Valley station of the mountain railway to the Neroberg, which is driven by the weight of water. The two wagons are connected with a rope via the mountain station. Water is poured in at the top and drained off at the bottom. The heavier wagon then pulls the lighter one up when it comes down.

Sometimes rain and sometimes sunshine☀️🌧☔🎼🎶☀️🌧☂️🎼🎶......
No, there was no hail or snow :)
There was a lot of tar underfoot and the beautiful paths also appealed to mountain bikers. Who can blame them?
Well there were beautiful passages and I was able to properly wear my new hiking boots😉🥾🥾

Today a very nice one from Neroberg Wiesbaden with approx. 14 km with a quick coffee stop at the Auf der Platte restaurant at the hunting lodge. The route is varied and goes steadily uphill from the Neroberg, over paths and a few wider paths. We started at the parking lot at Opelbad and finally took the Neroberg Bahn back …

September 3, 2021,Vom Neroberg zur Platte
Very nice hike from Neroberg to the Jagdschloss Platte, where you can stop off very nicely.
The path leads on mostly narrow paths through a beautiful forest, away from the main paths.
At the end of the tour you can stop at the mountain station of the Nerobergbahn.
There is also a beautiful climbing forest nearby.

So, today I explored the area around Wiesbaden. After visiting the world champion pizza maker and the casino (even with a slim profit) last night, it was time to go for a little walk today. The weather may not be nice, but the atmosphere is even better. And best of all, hardly anyone is out and about. Knees and back …

First of all, correct the tour dates again. According to the tour profile, I was moving non-stop for 4:52 hours.
If I had known that from the Russian Chapel on Neroberg there would be 8 km with mostly up to 20% gradients waiting for me, I would definitely have reconsidered the tour. It took me 2 hours to cover the …
