Maps and trails
One of the most famous landmarks of Rabenau is Riedeck Castle from the 14th century, which is now used as a museum. Here you can gain an insight into the history of the region as well as admire works of art from times gone by. The nearby Arnsburg Monastery with its impressive Romanesque architecture is also definitely worth a visit.

For cultural highlights, we also recommend a trip to the city of Giessen, which is only a few kilometres away. Here you will not only find numerous museums such as the Mathematikum or the Botanical Garden, but also a lively theatre and music scene.

Culinary Rabenau also has a lot to offer: Why not try traditional dishes such as Handkäs' mit Musik (hand cheese with music) or Frankfurter Grüne Sauce (Frankfurt green sauce) - gourmets will get their money's worth here!

For those who like to be active, they can enjoy breathtaking views on a hike through the Taunus mountains or explore the surroundings by cycling along the Lahn cycle path. In winter, the nearby skiing area on the Feldberg also beckons with its slopes and cross-country trails.

Even when the weather is bad, there is plenty to do in Rabenau: For example, visit the Aquamar adventure pool or the Giessen climbing hall for some sporting activity. Or take a trip to nearby Frankfurt and visit the famous Römerberg or the Goethe House.

Overall, Rabenau is definitely worth a trip - whether as a day trip from Giessen or for a longer stay. Here you can not only experience nature and history, but also enjoy culinary delights and be active. Let yourself be enchanted by this unique destination!

    Schöne Tour, aber durch fehlende Wegweiser kann man im Wald nur schwer den richtigen Weg finden. Und man kommt durch das Gelände des Steinbruchs, das ja eigentlich gesperrt ist. Wir waren am Feiertag dort, da war es kein Problem,.
