    Hiking

    The pigeon house is made of wood, it is a protected cultural asset and, like the entire park, dates from the 19th century. The Frankfurt banker Alfred de Neufville had the ensemble built above the Eppstein train station. The Neufvilles came to the Villa Anna for their summer retreat.
    In 2012 the roof was re-covered with colored tiles hand-made according to old recipes.

    Even if it is probably no longer used. The beautiful new bricks alone make this pigeon house worth seeing.

    Pigeon house with an interesting information board - I didn't know the importance of pigeons as food and their dung
