If you are visiting any of the towns in the Butzbach area, you really should look up the Hausbergturm. It is an observation tower on one of the high Mountains west of town. There is a half mile or so walk, steady incline to the tower, through wonderful woods and with informational displays along the way. The view from the top is really spectacular, and the tower is substantial and steady, so you can just enjoy the sights and not worry about your safety.
2. Sprudelhof Bad Nauheim

Few international travellers are probably aware of Bad Nauheim let alone its art nouveau spa complex called Sprudelhof which is a real missed opportunity. If you have an interest in the well known art nouveau cities of say Barcelona, Brussels, Nancy and Glasgow then head for this small city just 30 minutes by train north of Frankfurt. It's a compact city of just 30,000 people with plenty of parks and walking trails. The overall impression is of a gentle place which came to prominence in 1900 with the building of various treatment baths where the well-to-do took the local spa water. Go visit the various, individually designed bath houses and help support the local society who aims to restore these buildings back to their former glory.
Oh, and of course, Bad Nauheim's other claim to fame is that it's where Elvis Presley stayed when he was serving in the American army.

Love this castle and quaint town and would love to return. We visited in January, a few days after Christmas so we could not enter the castle, but it was beautiful nonetheless. The town is very small, but one of the most genuine and quaint German villages I have visited yet. It's a wonderful escape from the city life of Frankfurt if you need to get away or see more traditional German towns. Can't wait to return when the castle is open for visitors!

An excellent place to visit especially on a rainy day when you need something to do with children. Many hands on exhibits explore aspects of math and science.

We visited the castle on April, while me and my fiance doing our shopping arround Friedberg. We walked from downtown Friedberg to the castle. I was so fascinated by the castle with its gates, but found it so strange that there is some banner saying 'happy graduation' , later my fiance explain, inside this castle, there is a school, office and there is also few residences who lives inside the castle wall.
I never visited any castle before in my life, so I couldn't compare, but I like this castle, its building. the houses inside it, esp those timber houses and the cobblestoned walk. As we visited it on wednesday, we dont have a chance to enter the tower,Adolfsturm. The tower open every Saturday and Sunday from early April to end of October. I always fascinated with the fairy tales, and visited this little castle, bring all my imagination to those brother grimms tales.
I love photography so i snaped many pictures, from the architectures to the surrounding. My favorite is the Adolfsturm and the burgkirche.And there is also a building, look like a little palace or so, my Fiance said now it being used as some financial office or so.
I wish i could spent more time here, but it was cold early spring day, but soon ill be back here again.

War zum erstem Mal beim Lasertag, insofern habe ich keinen Vergleich. Aber ich fand´s Klasse und kann es nur empfehlen. Kurze Einweisung, mit allen notwendigen Infos erhalten und der Spielspaß ging los (60min, davon 3x15min Spiel und jeweils 5min Pause dazwischen). Wir hatten mit 13 Personen die komplette Arena gemietet und haben einfach ein "freies" Spiel gemacht. Wird auf jeden Fall wiederholt!
7. Castle Greifenstein

Greifenstein is no longer a castle, but just ruins. And it is very interesting. There's a bell museum in one of the towers/wells, and you can ring many of them by using a rubber hammer provided. It is a very hands-on and kinda loud museum! We love it!! The entrance fee is 4 euros and you can visit the whole thing: the museum, the chapel, with its beautiful decorations plus the underground (and older) chapel, and part of the casemates as well. You can also climb the 90 steps to the top of the towers, where there's even a better view of the hessian countryside. There is a restaurant in the premises, but it is very often used for events, and we had to go elsewhere to have our dinner.

Letztes Jahr war ich desöfteren in diesem Hochseilgarten. Das Gelände liegt wunderschön am Wölfersheimer See im Grünen. Alles top gepflegt! Einmal haben wir mit 20 Teenies ein Zeltlager mit Nachtklettern, Lagerfeuer, Stockbrot, Mitternachtssport uvm. veranstaltet. Das hat allen riesen Spaß gemacht, vorallem haben Britta und ihr Team gute Stimmung erzeugt mit dem vielfältigen Teamspielen, die sie meist spontan auf die Beine gestellt haben!
Es gibt Toiletten, Dusche und Küche mit guter Kaffeemaschine auf dem Gelände :)
Das zweite Mal war ich auf einem Geburtstag dort eingeladen mit Liveband -war insgesamt ein toller Abend im Hochseilgarten!

By and large, this Dome is not very remarkable – cathedrals in Mainz, Koblenz and Trier look much more impressive. However, Cathedral in Wetzlar is interesting in many ways. First, it is still unfinished – for a variety of reasons (religious strife, financial crises, etc.). The second tower was still not built. In its appearance paradoxically combines elements of different styles – from Romanesque to Gothic. And materials used for construction, too, were different – red sandstone, gray-green one, gray-black basalt (from which was built a romanesque basilica of the 12th century, which wasn’t yet destroyed, but simply "fitted" into the Cathedral, and finally, somewhere just ordinary plaster. Secondly, this is a unique "common" church for Catholic and Protestant communities of the city. And thirdly, the stained glasses inside are made in a very peculiar technique. Sometimes even primitivist.
In General, this Cathedral is a kind of exhibition of architectural styles and building materials.
10. Vitalis Saunalandschaft

Kennengelernt haben wir die Vitalis Sauna-Landschaft durch den Schlemmerblock. Und wir freuen uns immer wieder hierher zum Saunieren zu kommen.
Es handelt sich um eine kleine aber feine Sauna-Umgebung. Die ganze Anlage besteht aus mehreren Blockhäusern, man ist also bei dem gesamten Aufenthalt von ruhigem Holz umgeben.
Die Anlage besteht aus einem schönen Eingangsbereich wo sich der Empfang mit Kasse befindet. Man bekommt beim bezahlen den Schlüssel für einen Spind. Durch eine Tür kommt man in die gemischte (Damen und Herren zusammen) Umkleide. Die Spinde sind sehr groß (ca 1,80m hoch) somit passt alles herein was man mitgebracht hat. Getrennt gibt es noch Wertsachen-Spinde/Safes.
Man kommt, nachdem man sich der Zivilisations-Tücher entledigt hat zu den Duschräumen mit Kalt-Warm-Wasser. Nach dem Duschen dann in einen großen Innen-Aufenthalts-Raum mit 6 Liegen und 3 Fussbäder. Daran angrenzend sind ein Sanarium, einer Trockensauna für ca 16-20 Personen sitzend oder ca 8 Personen liegend in 3 Ebenen; ein Dampfbad für ca 4 Personen und einen KALT-Duschraum.
Wenn man heraustritt, findet man eine schöne Veranda mit davor einem großen Tauch-Becken wo bis zu 4 Personen sich abkühlen können. Rechts davon ist zur Zeit eine Erweiterung der Veranda, wo in einem Paar Monaten eine kleine Sauna stehen soll.
Man geht links die Treppe herunter und läuft vorbei an der doppelten Aussendusche (kakakakalt!) und der innen-Sauna-Bar.
Daran angrezend befinden sich links ein rieeeeesengroßer Blockhaus-Ruheraum (wo man wohl auch wenn man will eine Sauna-Party feiern kann) mit einer wunderschönen bedachten Südstaaten Veranda und rechts davon
eine GROSSE Aufguss-Sauna für ca 40 Personen, welche inmitten einer schönen Rasen und Kies-Fläche ist wo mit Blick auf den Himmel einige (ca 12) Liegen aufgestellt sind.
Wir waren beim Vitalis schon mal Samstags. Dann ist es natürlich voll. Die Aufguss-Sauna ist bis zum letzten Platz ausgebucht, man muss dann schon 7 MInuten vor Aufguss rein um den gewünschten Platz zu finden. Wenn man allerdings Mo-Fr vor Büro-Feierabend hingeht ist es viel entspannter und ruhiger.
