Königstein im Taunus

Located on the slopes of the Taunus mountain range, Königstein im Taunus stands at 362 meters elevation within the Frankfurt Rhine-Main metropolitan region.

The settlement emerged around a castle in 1215, functioning as a crucial checkpoint along the Frankfurt-Cologne trade route connecting these two important medieval cities.

The town organizes the annual Burgfest at Königstein Castle ruins, featuring medieval tournaments, traditional performances, and regional craft demonstrations throughout multiple days.

The town offers direct rail connections to Frankfurt, with trains departing every 30 minutes from the central station located on Frankfurter Strasse.

Three distinct districts shape the municipality: Falkenstein with its castle ruins, Mammolshain surrounded by orchards, and Schneidhain near the forest edge.
