Eppstein Travel Guide: 17 reviews and 42 photos

The Castle was earlier residence of the lords of Eppstein. The ruins of the Eppstein Castle give an amazing romantic atmosphere to the little town, particulary to its old city center of Eppstein, which is one of the most lovely locations in Main-Taunus-District. A hidden gem. Neat cities like this one with its friendly citizens make Hesse such an attracting state.

Eppstein

From the Kaisertempel, built in 1894, there is a wonderful view of Eppstein. At the foot of the castle, in the middle of the historical old city, is the Talkirche (Valley Church), which today accommodates Eppstein's evangelical parish.

Not a matter of stinginess. Traditionally Germans have always eaten everything with knife and fork--from pizza to fried chicken, so a napkin was never necessary.

Nice photos of the castle! For a while I could enjoy the view on the castle each day from the train, it's really a lovely ruined castle!
