Maps and trails
Geographically, Dachsenhausen lies on the edge of the Taunus Mountains and is surrounded by picturesque forests and hills. Its location at the confluence of the Wisper River and the Rhine makes it an ideal starting point for outdoor activities such as hiking or cycling.

One of Dachsenhausen's most famous sights is Lahneck Castle. This medieval fortress sits majestically on a hill above the Rhine and offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding area. Another highlight is the collegiate church of St. Martinus with its beautiful frescoes and impressive church tower.

Culture enthusiasts will also be thrilled by the annual wine festival, where local vintners present their best drops and traditional music groups provide entertainment.

For culinary connoisseurs, Dachsenhausen has a lot to offer - be sure to try the regional classic "Rheingauer Spundekäs" (a dip made from fresh cheese and onions) or enjoy a cold beer in one of the cosy local breweries.

In terms of outdoor activities, there is no better place than Dachsenhausen! In summer, hikes can be taken through the forests or you can go on a bike tour along the Rhine. In winter, the nearby Feldberg ski area offers excellent opportunities for skiing and snowboarding.

If it rains, there are also plenty of indoor activities such as visits to museums or a relaxing day at one of the wellness centres in the area.

Where is the most beautiful? That's hard to say, because Dachsenhausen has so many beautiful places. But if we had to choose, we would recommend the view from Burg Lahneck over the Rhine - the view will not disappoint!

Overall, Dachsenhausen is definitely worth a trip for all outdoor enthusiasts, culture vultures and foodies. We hope this guide will help you get the most out of your visit here!

    Ich habe diese Wanderung am 31.10.2020 gemacht. Ein wunderbarer Rundweg. Bestens ausgeschildert.Die vielen Buchen sollten im Sommer für angenehmen Schatten sorgen. Die Herbstbelaubung ist traumhaft.Ich werden diesen Weg bestimmt nochmal machen.
