New, clean rest area. Great views of Katzenelnbogen and the surrounding area, as well as the TGaunus up to the Feldberg (on a clear day).

🚰 Continuous water fountain near Zollhaus – cool refreshment along the trail A real insider tip on the Aartal Cycle Path: The acidic water fountain near Zollhaus provides fresh, clear water even on hot days – directly from the tap, always available. Ideal for cyclists and hikers who want to refill their water bottles or simply take a short break. 💧 Tip: Have a cup or bottle handy – the water runs continuously, without the need to press a button. A quiet helper along the trail – and worth its weight in gold, not just in the summer heat.
