Bahnhof Eiserne Hand

The Bahnhof Eiserne Hand railway station features classic 19th-century architecture with a platform track at an elevation of 420 meters in the Taunus mountains.

The station opened in 1889 as part of the railway line connecting Wiesbaden Central Station to Langenschwalbach, serving regional passengers through the western Taunus ridge.

The station buildings and technical installations received protected status in 1987, recognizing their importance in German railway development and regional transportation history.

Currently operating as a museum railway station by the Nassau Tourist Railway, the facility includes a restaurant called Waldgeist zur Eisernen Hand since 2007.

The station stands as the highest railway point in the Taunus region and provides the lowest mountain passage from Wiesbaden across the mountain range.
