Beautiful view of Lenzhahn and Idstein beyond the hills.

This is the Backes in Oberseelbach not Wangen

Part of an attractive building group built in the late 18th century with a barn from 1808 (date in the carved lintel beam). The town hall and bakery is characterized by an exposed half-timbered upper floor (council room) over a low, solid ground floor (bakery), crowned by a clock roof turret with an onion dome. Brick chimney still exists. Multifunctional village community building for small communities, of local historical and townscape value. Description copied from: denkmalpflege-hessen.de

This beautiful fountain was built around 1900 by the Michelbacher Hütte

Since the source of the Theißbach is not very far away, it is certainly interesting for long-distance hikers or cyclists. However, there is no waste basket

A little hidden away from the main path with a great view.

A natural monument from Taunuscuarzit. The "Hohle Stein", a designated natural monument, is a striking group of rocky cliffs made of Taunus quartzite north-west of the Buchwaldkopf. A higher proportion of silicic acid or quartz (chemical: SiO,), which we know in crystalline form as rock crystal, amethyst or rose quartz, ensured that this quartzite area of the main Taunus ridge was protected from intensive weathering in the humid and warm tropical climate in the Paleogene (from 65 to 23.8 million years) was dissected out as "Härtling™. Such outstanding rock formations in the landscape often served as places of worship and mystical places in Central Europe's prehistoric times. It is not known whether this was also the case with Hohlen Stein. There is no evidence or lore for it. But there is at least evidence that humans stayed in the Oberjosbach area in prehistoric times. A mystical place? Early evidence of humans are also three burial mounds near the Oberjosbach forester's lodge. What is the nature of these burial mounds is unclear. However, hundreds of such graves are known from the Taunus region, dating from the Bronze Age (16th to 12th centuries). century B.C. BC) and the Iron Age (earlier Hallstatt period 8th to 5th century BC). The rocks of the Hohle Stein also testify to the powerful forces of mountain building. In some places they have a rock surface with scratches and grooves, which are caused by two rock bodies sliding past each other during mountain formation. These surfaces are called armor, an old mining term. The "Hollow Stone" The earliest evidence of humans in the district of Oberjosbach comes from the New Stone Age, the Neolithic (5600-2200 BC). In 1973, while digging in the "Saalbachfeld", a woman from Oberjosbach came across a stone that showed traces of human processing. This is a smaller ax from the early Stone Age, the material of which, a slate, probably comes from the Main gravel. Although this find does not prove that the district was settled, it does provide evidence of the at least temporary presence of hunters and gatherers before about 2300 BC. Chr.

The Taunus belonged to the 20th century. for several centuries one of the leading industrial areas in Germany with regard to ore mining and ore processing. The abundance of water, the abundance of forest (charcoal extraction) and finally the ore deposits in close proximity to each other predestined the Taunus for the iron industry. Today we also find numerous smaller pits and quarries not far from Oberjosbach am Nickel, at the "Alte-haag" in the Heftricher Forest or at the natural monument "Hohler Stein". On the latter, which is traversed by numerous tunnels, u. a. awarded the fields Weibertrank (iron and manganese) and Gustavshöhe (iron). In 1912 the award certificate for the lead and copper ore mine near Heftrich was awarded. During the First World War, mining in Heftrich boomed because lead was needed for armaments. At that time the sole reached down to a depth of 110 m. Annually, 230 tons of lead ore and copper pyrite were sold to the Braubach lead and silver works near Lahnstein. On June 13, 1925, the last layer entered the Hasdrubal tunnel. The ores did not come together with the Taunus rocks, but formed later. Under the warm, humid climate on the Cretaceous/Palaeogene boundary 65 million years ago, iron and manganese were dissolved during the profound chemical weathering of the rocks. These were later deposited again in fissures and crevices in the rock as crusts and nodules. However, man did not mine the first ores by mining, but by collecting ore-bearing rocks from the surface of the earth. Manganese ore, which often occurs together with iron ore, was regarded as worthless surrounding rock well into the Middle Ages and was therefore put aside. Another way of mining ores was through the creation of oval depressions in the ground, the so-called pings. These hollow forms with a diameter of approx. 1.5 m to 2 m and a depth of up to one meter can be found in large numbers at Hohle Stein.
