Melibokus–Darsberghütte Trail

Highlight • Trail

The highlight is at the end of this trail just continue to follow the "path". At the bottom, just before Jugenheim, there is the Corona Trail. I'm not sure if it's official. Awesome section! But needs some driving skills.

View over the Rhine Plain from Melibokus

Highlight • Viewpoint

In misty or foggy weather you can actually save the summit, but the rather dense forest around it is very mystical.

In clear weather, the view in the west to the Palatinate Forest and its highest mountain, the Donnersberg. Northwest you can see the Taunus, while to the north the skyscrapers of Frankfurt can be seen. The latter, however, much better from the castle Alsbach, as you have to see from Melibokus through some trees.

Alsbach Castle with Castle Tower

Highlight • Castle

High above the village of Alsbach is the castle of the same name. It was built around 1235 by the Lords of Bickenbach. After the Bickenbacher noble family threaded through marriage on and on, the mighty castle became a so-called Ganerbenburg, which was also owned by various lords of the castle. Towards the end of the 15th century, a Ganerbe bought all shares of the other heirs and was thus again the only lords of Bickenbach.

After further changing owners, the castle came into the possession of the Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt. As with other castles, this was only interested in the lands and let the castle expire. Despite everything, the castle still offers an impressive sight today. Particularly noteworthy is the restored keep. From its crown you have a great view of the Rhine plain.

Hollow Way Trail to Alsbach Castle

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Easily rideable trail both at the bottom and at the top of the edge. In both directions below S0, above to S1+. Is crossed by an S2-S3 trail from the castle to Schuß. The landscape is worth seeing just because of the height of the walls.
