エップシュタインのおすすめランニングルート

The Eppstein tin foil factory, founded in 1852 by Conrad Sachs, is considered one of the oldest industrial companies in the Taunus region. Originally, lead and tin foil were manufactured in the former Herrenmühle mill, later also aluminum foil and the famous tinsel, which shone in many Christmas decorations from 1905 onwards. Under Josef Heinrich Flach, the company developed into a major employer with over 400 employees. The striking office building at Burgstraße 83, with its Art Nouveau elements, still recalls the heyday of metalworking in Eppstein. After wars and crises, the company underwent several transformations and now operates as EppsteinFOILS GmbH & Co. KG. High-precision metal foils for electronics, medicine, and packaging are produced here. For the region, the factory is a symbol of both industrial tradition and modern innovation – a fascinating contrast to the medieval old town and castle, and an ideal addition to a Komoot tour.

Beautiful old church in the center of Eppstein

Since 2023, Eppstein has once again been part of the Eschborn-Frankfurt cycling classic (formerly Henningerturm) on May 1st. Here, the route runs through the old town on cobblestones past the Talkirche church and below Eppstein Castle.

Solid forest paths
