シュミッテンの峡谷・トップ13

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.

TEXT ON THE GLASS SIGN AT STATION VII In the Hessenpark open-air museum in Neu-Anspach, the results of all archaeological excavations, other finds and vivid representations of glass production in the Taunus are on display in a permanent exhibition entitled "Forest Glassworks in the Taunus". In the community center of the Glashütten district and in the Schloßborn local history museum, there is a display case with plenty of material about the Taunus glassworks.

OLD GLASS FURNACES A glass panel with a subdued color - as if from the past - gives an impression of the cup design of the time. The main focus should be on the excavations. The glass panel also provides information about other exhibitions on the subject of glass in the Taunus: Hessenpark: www.hessenpark.de - there is a "glassmaker's barn" with a replica of a glass furnace, excellent explanations and many excavation pieces; glass display case with finds - visible from outside in the Glashütten town hall.

Located directly in the Emsbach valley, you can see the remains of the old stained glass windows. A more detailed description and a reconstruction can also be seen in Hessenpark.

Below the castle lies the tranquil Woogtal valley, where you can take wonderful walks and relax by the pond.

Nice little Tsl on the way to Fuchtstanz. Here you can rest on the lawn or on the benches.

Very romantic path along the stream. However, there are currently a number of trees lying across the path.
