Hiking

A lot of lovingly renovated houses, almost all of which are under monument protection, in winding streets, some on steep slopes. A walk through Kronberg is definitely worth it! The highlight of the village, also known as "Hessian Tuscany", is the Kronberg castle complex.

The pretty village owns and beautiful old town with many small alleys through half-timbered houses, a great castle and impressive castle (!), Generous castle and city park and many nice and good restaurants. Worth a further journey.
