ケルクハイムの峡谷・トップ11

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 can find traces of the Romans, who used this narrow sunken lane (apparently called "Hohlchen" in Hessian dialect) to travel from Wiesbaden to their camp on the Hochfeld – today within the city limits of Hofheim. The "Rote Hohlchen" (Red Hollow) is now a Hessian cultural monument, having been filled in for some time and then uncovered a few years ago.

There's a really nice trail here. Unfortunately, there are a few trees in it now, and it's not so easy to ride anymore.

Three kilometers north of the Wiesbadener Kreuz, the intersection of the A3 and A66 motorways, we walked a short distance in the footsteps of the Romans, who used the narrow hollow road (apparently "Hohlchen" in Hessian) to travel from Wiesbaden to their camp on the Hochfeld – today within the territory of the city of Hofheim. The "Rote Hohlchen" (Red Hollow) is now a Hessian cultural monument, having been filled in for some time and then uncovered a few years ago.

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.

There are great and well-developed cycle paths around the Staufen.
