Taunus

Holidays in Taunus - A Must for Hikers and Families! The Taunus is located in the heart of Germany, about 30 km northwest of Frankfurt am Main. With its seemingly endless forests, the low mountain range stretches across the border between Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate. The Taunus is not only a beautiful local recreation area for Frankfurt's stressed-out inhabitants, but also a worthwhile destination for all nature lovers. The mountains and forests of the Taunus offer a special experience of nature, Bad Schwalbach and Schlangenbad promise their guests relaxation in the typical atmosphere of traditional spas. Bad Homburg, a city worth seeing with a beautiful castle park, is ideal for a wellness trip on the Taunus. The Taunus is framed by the rivers Rhine, Main and Lahn, and its highest peak is the Großer Feldberg at 881 m. The spectacular cliffs of Eschbach attract many climbers there, the Taunus is also a good direction for active holidays. To the west, the Taunus passes into the Rheingau, the world famous Rhine wine region. Especially for wine connoisseurs, a trip to the Rhine is therefore a must on a vacation in the Taunus.
