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.

Born-Sauer's House, Eppstein

Highlight • Cafe

In the middle of the Staufen/Judenkopf/Rossert and Bergpark trail area is the small but lovely half-timbered old town of Eppstein with its castle. The cafe is better than it looks. The only thing that bothers me is the factory, which is also not very quiet during the week. There are great views of Eppstein from the Kaisertempel and from the Bergpakk. On the other hand, the view from the Pioneer Temple of a skyscraper is disappointing, but the builders of the temple can't do anything about that.

Kleiner Mannstein / Henrici Ruh

Highlight • Viewpoint

Henrici Ruh rest area on the way to the Großer Mannstein. Not quite as crowded as above and already offers a taste of the beautiful view.
