Nature, culture and relaxing breaks

The trail leads through forests, past imposing structures such as the historic Bismarck Tower and the Ludwig Tower. A particular highlight is the Mathildenhöhe , the center of Art Nouveau. Those who take their time will discover fascinating natural monuments and tranquil spots to linger along the way.
Tip: Oberfeld farm is worthwhile . Here you'll find fresh organic produce, a small rest area, and the opportunity to stock up on regional provisions. Shortly after, the path leads past the Darmstadt Vivarium , which was our weekend tip – a worthwhile stop to admire exotic animals.
definitely be taken at the Goethe Pond or on the Ludwigshöhe , where the Bessungen Ludwigshöhe offers a magnificent view stretching all the way to Frankfurt. Those who wish can refresh themselves here and enjoy the view extending into the Palatinate region.
