Niederreifenberg

Niederreifenberg is a district in Schmitten im Taunus located in the Weiltal valley at the foot of the Great Feldberg mountain. The area features mixed terrain with meadows and forests that shape its rural character.

The settlement appeared in documents during the early 13th century in connection with Reifenberg Castle, which guarded mountain passages. The original community formed around this defensive fortification.

The district preserves a historical church from 1889, constructed with Taunus slate, now converted into residential buildings while maintaining its protected status.

The district is accessible through the Weiltalweg trail system, which connects to neighboring communities via several walking routes. The terrain is suitable for hiking and offers various paths through the Taunus landscape.

Two Bärenfichten ponds, each spanning 0.9 hectares, provide fishing opportunities managed by the local angling club near the Weil River.
