Here you can soak up the country air again and enjoy the view before throwing yourself into the hustle and bustle of Darmstadt. The Rosen- and Mathildenhöhe are not far away and neither is the Hundertwasserhaus.

Darmbach Fish Ponds

Highlight • Lake

The Darmbach, which gave Darmstadt its name and feeds these five fish farming ponds, has its source very close by. All fish species that can be found in a lake live here and of course a few always hungry gray herons. Speaking of hungry: At the other end of the fish ponds is the "fisherman's hut". In the restaurant there you can let yourself be pampered by the friendly innkeepers.

Frankenstein Castle

Highlight • Castle

The residence of the Frankenstein noble family has a history of more than 900 years. Until the late 16th century, the Frankensteins were a respected and wealthy princely family, as you can still tell by the size of the castle today. With the strengthening of the Kurhessichen princes, however, they lost influence and sold their castle in 1662 to the Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt. Since this was only interested in the lands, he degenerated the very well-kept castle. The castle was used again and again as a quarry for newly emerging buildings and only in the 19th century, the plant was partially repaired. Grand Duke Ludwig III. let the castle rebuild in the style of the castle romanticism. The present appearance dates from this time and reminds only in parts of the original form of the castle. The mighty ramparts and towers still give a nice picture of medieval castles, and after a visit the castle's own restaurant attracts.

I haven't been to Frankenstein once this year. And so today I set out to renew our acquaintance. Combined with the slight hope that I can escape the fog on the hill and that the sun will shine.
Well, as we all know, hope dies last... 😬🤷‍♂️
There was no sun. But there were nice muddy paths, butes 🍂 🍁, …
