Bad Homburg Palace and Palace Park

Bad Homburg Palace and Palace Park is situated above the roofs of the spa town, its silhouette dominated by the medieval keep. The baroque palace, which was founded on a previous medieval building, has extensive grounds and served not only as the residence of the landgraves, but also as the summer residence of the German imperial family. So when you go for a stroll here, you are in the best of company!

The World of the Celts at the Glauberg

So sensational was the discovery of the life-size "Celtic Prince from the Glauberg" some 25 years ago that news of it travelled all the way around the world. Today, the stone figure with the striking, ear-shaped headwear is housed in a museum that is very popular as a photo backdrop. Take your own picture!

Ostein’s Niederwald, Rüdesheim

High above the Rhine between Rüdesheim and Assmannshausen is a magical horticultural monument - and that’s to be taken quite literally, because in addition to the temple and artificial ruins, a magic cave also awaits you in the Ostein ornamental forest.
