    Mountain biking

    Suddenly, quartz rocks rise almost vertically from the ground here. You can climb them or just admire them. Depending on the sunlight, they change their appearance. Simply a great view and sight. An ideal starting and turning point for mountain bikers. A real highlight.

    Hiking

    A steep rock face rises in the middle of a meadow. An ideal place for climbing and for a nice picnic.

    Hiking

    The Eschbacher Cliffs form a strong contrast to the gently rolling landscape of the Taunus Nature Park. They are located in the middle of the Usinger Land: bizarre, steeply rising rocks made of quartz rock, up to 12 meters high. The rock face is a visible part of a quartz vein about six kilometers long, which continues across the Usatal to the Wormstein in the Usinger city forest. The Eschbacher Cliffs are perfect for beginner climbers or for bouldering, but hikers and picnickers also get their money's worth.
