One of the most famous sights of Rosbach vor der Höhe is Rösberg Castle, which was built as early as the 16th century. Here you can not only admire the impressive architecture, but also take part in guided tours through the castle and learn more about its history.

Another highlight is the Alte Mühle (Old Mill) museum, which is located in a former flour mill. Here you can learn everything about the cultural history of the region as well as about the operation of a historic mill.

If you are interested in culture, you should definitely plan a visit to the Off Broadway Theatre Forum. Concerts, theatre performances and other cultural events are held here regularly.

For culinary delights, there are numerous restaurants offering regional cuisine, such as the Gasthaus Zum Löwen or the Restaurant Zur Krone.

The best outdoor activities can vary depending on the season: In summer, hiking through the Taunus or cycling tours along the river Nidda are ideal. In winter, on the other hand, the skiing area on the Feldberg with its pistes and cross-country ski runs is an attraction.

If it should rain, there are many indoor activities such as the Rosarium swimming pool or the Escape Room "Exit the Room".

It is particularly beautiful in Rosbach vor der Höhe in spring, when nature awakens and everything is in bloom. But you can also experience beautiful colours here in autumn.

    Eine recht schöne Tour, auf der es überall etwas zu entdecken gibt. Unter anderem, ist die Freiberger Burganlage ein wenig zu sehen. In Bad Nauheim sind die Alten Gradierbauten, und das Gradierwerk. So wie ein Kneippbad, Außerdem ist auch das Römerkastell ein Sehenswertes-Ziel. Achtung!!! Strecke hat nach Friedberg einen Fehler. Vor der B3 geht der Weg nach rechts weiter, durch eine Überführung.

    Easy hiking and long walking for friends and family. You may have to pass through off dirt tracks for few hundred meters.

    Schöne, einfache Runde die durchgängig im Wald verläuft. Der Wald ist jedoch nicht allzu dicht und lässt an vielen Stellen die Sonne durch. Optimal für Tage an denen es nicht darum geht der Sonne aus dem Weg zu gehen. Die Route ist nicht überlaufen und die Wege sind relativ naturbelassen. Der Himmel über einem ist so gut wie immer zu sehen.

    Schöne, einfache Tour die fast ausschließlich im Schatten verläuft. Nur sehr sanfte Steigungen auf befestigten Wegen. Im allgemeinen wenig Verkehr. Super Tour (besonders für heisse Tage). Am Wanderparkplatz Winterstein gehts los.

    Danke. Schöne Runde mit teils technisch schönen Passagen - auch für ein Hardtail noch fahrbar. Aktuell hat's einige Bäume durch die Stürme auf der Strecke...

    Bin die Tour gestern mit einem Kumpel gefahren, lässt sich sehr schön fahren und bis auf den Trail vom Aussichtsturm runter, waren für uns alle neu! Top, danke dafür! Der MainzerKopfTrail ist nicht mehr gesperrt (zumindest stehen keine Schilder o.ä. mehr dort), allerdings sind die ersten Meter ab dem "Gipfel" recht zugewachsen von kleinen Nadelbäumen, hier kommt man geradeso noch durch.
