Eppstein, Medieval castle town in Main-Taunus-Kreis, Germany
Eppstein is a town in Main-Taunus-Kreis that spreads across five interconnected districts, including Bremthal and Ehlhalten. The settlement sits on the edge of the Taunus region, mixing residential areas with natural spaces.
The town grew around Eppstein Castle in the Middle Ages, which served as the seat of the Lords of Eppstein. After the 16th century, the castle lost its importance, but the settlement continued to develop.
Each district hosts its own local events and celebrations that reflect how residents connect with their surroundings and neighbors. This spread across multiple centers gives each area its own character and sense of community.
The town connects to Frankfurt and Wiesbaden by train, with direct S-Bahn service reaching Frankfurt Airport. Visitors can walk between the districts and explore nearby forest paths that link the different neighborhoods.
The Taunuscamp in the Niederjosbach district offers outdoor lodging surrounded by forest landscapes. This facility makes it possible to stay overnight in nature while remaining close to urban transit and city access.
