Rosbach vor der Höhe is picturesquely located against the eastern foothills of the Taunus mountains, forming the first-rate transition between wooded ridges and the fertile plains of the Wetterau. The small town is nationally famous for its natural mineral springs, from which the well-known Rosbacher mineral water has flowed for generations. Historically, the Kapersburg is particularly fascinating: a restored Roman Limes fort hidden deep within the dense forest. Hikers and history enthusiasts appreciate the well-marked trails that transport visitors back to the time of the Roman Empire. In the cozy town centers of Ober- and Nieder-Rosbach, you will find pleasant historic half-timbered houses and small, family-run craft businesses. Agricultural tradition is highly valued here, which is why the surrounding farms offer fresh, regional products directly to consumers. Those looking for peace and deceleration can hike through the numerous orchards around the town and enjoy the clear view towards the Frankfurt skyline.
