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.

A little water play... good for the ears... relaxing

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.

If you want to know what the name means, you can find an explanation on Riedelbach's website. https://www.riedelbach.de/index.php/landschaft/sehenswuerdigkeiten/frafindersel-fra-von-seel#:~:text=Als%20Frafindersel%20oder%20Fra%20von,Zeit%20der%20ersten%20Besiedlung%20zur%C3%BCckreicht.

There is no recognizable path to the grotto. As everything is overgrown with blackberry bushes in summer, it is better to visit outside of the growing season. Be careful: there is a short, very steep section to overcome, as well as fallen trees/broken branches.

A walk through the romantic Woogtal is always worth it. The short, steep climb to the castle is highly recommended, among other things. to enjoy the wonderful panoramic view from up there.
