Kurpfädchen Trail

Highlight • Trail

The Kurpfädchen / Kurpäddsche was created in connection with the former Villa Waldeck, which served as a summer resort or spa house. After the path had become increasingly overgrown since the 1950s, it was uncovered and repaired again in 2011.

Highlight • Natural Monument

Natural monument and absolute eye-catcher ...

The great view from here of the Taunus ridge with the Großer Feldberg is an additional highlight!

Steinfischbacher Grund Rest Area

Highlight • Rest Area

The rest area at a former quarry is getting a bit old. This passage is also important due to the traditions of the robber Schinderhannes (Johannes Bückler).

Hirtesmühle Water Mill

Highlight • Monument

There must be a mix-up here. The shepherd's mill has never had a restaurant. The Walkmühle and the Morcher Mühle near Walsdorf have restaurants with beer gardens nearby. You can also enjoy good food there.

April 27, 2024,Esch, Kurpädsche, 1000 jährige Linde und Hirtesmühle.... spontane Freundinnentour 💖😄
The Kurpädsche was actually built for the spa guests at the end of the 19th century so that they had direct access to Villa Waldeck....
I found the 1000-year-old linden tree fascinating. It is not 1000 years old, but was named in the Middle Ages.
The trunk is completely split, and to ensure the tree's survival, a thick steel beam …
