팔켄슈타인 성터(역사적으로 노이팔켄슈타인이라고도 불림)는 타우누스 지역 쾨니히슈타인 팔켄슈타인 지구의 해발 약 450미터 지점에 위치해 있습니다. 이 성터는 이 지역의 눈에 띄는 랜드마크로 멀리서도 보이며, 파란만장한 역사를 가지고 있습니다. 이 요새는 14세기 중반에 볼란덴-팔켄슈타인 영주들이 누링스 성의 오래된 기초 바로 옆에 건설했으며, 1364년에 처음으로 문서에 언급되었습니다. 나사우 백작과 크론베르크 백작을 포함한 여러 귀족 가문들이 빠르게 교체된 후, 이 복합 시설은 1500년경에 포괄적인 현대화 단계를 거쳤습니다. 이 시기에 현대적인 방어 시설, 두 개의 대포탑, 그리고 오늘날까지 보존된 18미터 높이의 돈존이 독특한 "버터 배럴" 스타일로 세워졌습니다. 30년 전쟁 이후, 이 요새는 점차 전략적 중요성을 잃었습니다. 1780년경부터는 건물의 일부가 채석장으로 사용되면서 최종적으로 버려지고 점차 폐허로 변했습니다. 역사적인 성벽의 의도적인 철거는 1842년에야 중단될 수 있었습니다. 1945년부터 보호 구역은 지자체(현재 쾨니히슈타인 시)의 소유가 되었으며, 이후 지역 역사 협회의 상당한 재정적 지원으로 지속적으로 유지 및 보수되었습니다. 오늘날 성의 핵심부 고지대는 인기 있는 관광 명소로, 개방 기간(3월~10월) 동안 방문객들에게 라인-마인 평원과 타우누스 산맥의 인상적인 파노라마 전망을 제공합니다.

Rettershof is a historic estate in the Fischbach district of Kelkheim, now a popular local recreation and excursion destination offering restaurants, equestrian activities, nature, and events. Originally, the property was founded in 1146 as the Premonstratensian Retters Monastery; after its dissolution in 1559, it developed into an agricultural estate with various owners. In the 19th century, the Englishman Frederik Arnold Rodewald acquired the estate and had a grand manor house built in the English Tudor style between 1884 and 1885. This building still forms the heart of the complex and has been owned by the city of Kelkheim since the early 1980s. Today, Rettershof comprises: • the Rettershof Castle Hotel with its historic charm, • the country inn "Zum fröhlichen Landmann" (The Merry Farmer), • a modern equestrian center with an indoor riding arena and paddocks, • expansive meadows, orchards, and woodlands. Rettershof also serves as a venue for markets, festivals, concerts, and harvest and cultural events, attracting many visitors from the region. In short: Rettershof combines medieval monastery and estate history with a modern recreational and cultural landscape – ideal for walks, horseback riding, events, and excursions in the Taunus region.

From Falkenstein Castle you have an impressive view of Frankfurt. On a clear day, the view extends to the skyline and far into the surrounding area. A worthwhile stop on the hike.

The Ratsstuben in Königstein im Taunus is a lovingly maintained half-timbered house with a long tradition as a restaurant. It is located in the heart of the old town, right next to the old town hall, and offers typical Greek dishes as well as regional specialties such as the old town plate, castle plate and the Ratsstuben plate. The restaurant has 60 seats in the restaurant, 30-35 seats in the extra room and 25 seats in the garden.

The Old Town Hall in Königstein, originally built around 1255, has been the town museum since 1968. It shows the history of the region with finds, models and the highlight, a model of the Königstein Fortress from 1790. A must for history buffs.

The building was originally built around 1255 as the lower gate of Königstein Castle. On July 22, 1655, the town received the building free of charge from the sovereign, the Archbishop of Mainz, Johann Philipp von Schönborn. The destruction of the Thirty Years' War had caused the house to deteriorate to the point that only the massive substructure could be used. The current building was built on this basement in half-timbered construction. It was completed in 1673 and was used as the town hall until 1909. The Königstein Castle and Town Museum has been housed in the old town hall since 1968. The museum deals with the historical development of the region and the town of Königstein. Finds, models, drawings, pictures, tools, coins and everyday objects from many centuries up to the present day are on display. Source: Wikipedia

The property consists of two half-timbered houses supposedly built in 1654 and restored after 1792 and a solidly constructed front building (formerly the Messer Inn) built in 1870. Bordered to the west by the Höhenbach. Source: https://denkxweb.denkmalpflege-hessen.de/100780/
