Very nice and idyllic resting place between the Emser Berg and the Altenburg. Many hiking trails meet here and the touching story of Mrs. Engel is told, who regularly stopped here on the way to the market.

August 11, 2023,Habichtswaldsteig - Etappe 2 - vom Firnsbachtal nach Bad Emstal

After I (Steffi) set up my tent ⛺ on the trekking site in Firnsbachtal yesterday evening, I retired to the nearby inn for dinner. The restaurant "Im Firnsbachtal" is just under 400 meters from the campsite, and if you don't like to cook yourself, you're in good hands here 🍽️

April 14, 2022,Habichtswaldsteig: Firnsbachtal - Sand

On our second day, after a great breakfast in the Pension Firnsbachtal, we started in the rain, but it eased off when we arrived at the Schauenburg. The weather then got better and better.
Although this stage wasn't quite as spectacular as the first, it was still able to shine with great castle ruins, views and a few nice changes.
