グラースヒュッテンでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Source & Course: The Silberbach stream rises in the High Taunus mountains near Schloßborn (municipality of Glashütten). From there, it flows southeast through the wooded Silberbach Valley. Mouth: It flows into the Schwarzbach stream, which in its upper reaches, up to its confluence with the Daisbach stream in Eppstein, is often still referred to as the Dattenbach. The mouth of the Schwarzbach lies between Glashütten-Schloßborn and Eppstein-Vockenhausen. Special Features: The Silberbach Valley is considered ecologically valuable and is managed by the BUND (Friends of the Earth Germany) Königstein-Glashütten branch. The name may historically suggest a stony streambed or former mining attempts. Recreation: A popular hiking trail is the Silberbach Loop, which leads from Dattenbach Valley, passing, among other things, the Atzelberg Tower.

Here you will find a beautiful glass bench by Ines Nickchen, which is part of the Forest Glass Trail.

The Atzelberg Tower is a 27-meter-high, steel-constructed observation tower in Kelkheim-Eppenhain in the Taunus Mountains, which reopened to the public in December 2023. It is the successor to three previous towers destroyed by fire and offers panoramic views of the Taunus Mountains, including a view of Königstein, from its platform. Access is via a spiral staircase with 156 steps, and admission is free.

Here is the Atzelberg Tower! It is now made of metal, after it burned down twice from wood.

The view from the tower is truly magnificent

A small gravel parking lot is also used by those using the glass container. If there are no parking spaces available, you can park in the parking lots of the cemetery and the two supermarkets and discount stores. The information pavilion is located a few meters further along the gravel path.
