Hiking

This hike lives up to its name: there's plenty to see, especially in the center of Bad Soden am Taunus. The town was already known in the Middle Ages for its salt and warm springs, and today it is a popular spa town. The hike starts at the train station, which can be reached from Frankfurt in just under half an hour by S-Bahn.

In Bad Soden, you can expect beautiful parks, bubbling springs and stately buildings. During your walk through the town, you can enjoy the special charm and easily imagine how the dukes and their wealthy guests once strolled through the parks. You continue through the two districts of Neuenhain and Altenhain and along the Sulzbach back to the spa town. Here you will find several places to stop for a relaxing end to the tour.

If you want to walk a little further: The Hundertwasserhaus in Bad Soden and the Quellenpark are not directly on the route, but a short detour is worthwhile.

New Spa Park

Highlight • Forest

Created in the 60s/70s of the last century, this 44 square meter park is another local recreation area in the city center. The meadows and benches invite you to sit, the playground in a semi-shaded location offers the little ones space to unfold.

Pauline's Little Palace

Highlight • Historical Site

Today the Bad Soden Citizens' Office is located in the listed Paulinenschlösschen. The house is named after Duchess Pauline von Nassau. In April 1841 she was in the Taunus for a cure. The Duchess took a liking to the health resort and decided to have a summer residence built here. The Paulinenschlösschen was therefore built for them in 1847.

The Old Kurpark is located in the city center, directly on Königsteiner Straße. It was laid out in the style of an English landscape park from 1823 onwards. Here you can discover numerous exotic trees as well as several fountains, such as the sulfur fountain or the "Neue Sprudel". The spa house, which was demolished in 1971 and is now replaced by the "Ramada Hotel", was also located here.

The bathhouse, which was built during spa times, is also located in the Old Kurpark. Today you can find the city archives, the city library and the city museum here. The spa park also contains the Paulinenschlösschen and the concert shell, where concerts and events (such as public viewing or church services) are regularly held. The Wilhelmsbrunnen (out of service since 2001) is also in the park.

Bad Soden's most beautiful spa park, also because of the adjacent Hundertwasserhauses.

Like almost all of you, we were outside in the wonderful weather. This time in a previously unknown corner in and around Bad Soden.
Nice little town on the edge of the Taunus with original orchards. The old town center is also very beautiful with its winding alleys and well-preserved half-timbered houses.
In any case, we were not disappointed.

The tour is from the Taunus Info under “see and go”. The marking can be improved in places. Otherwise the tour is something different. From the spa park through villa areas, through fields and forests, natural monuments and brick ones. Very varied, lots of asphalt due to the nature of the tour. Easy to walk, steps in between, otherwise no …

A tour from the hiking guide "Hiking in the Taunus"

We moved the starting point to the Kahlbachhalle in Altenhain and slightly altered the route in Bad Soden to pass the many fountains and springs.
The weather was great today. A few clouds, but also plenty of sunshine at 25°C.

A leisurely walk through Bad Soden, Neuenhain and Altenhain with sparkling wine 🥂 Break at the CarpeDiem-Bank in Altenhainer Tal and stop at the rustic Eberhards Scheuer...

...to get hungry for a cozy dinner!

We were really lucky with the weather and had a good time anyway 🥰

Always nice: Altenhainer Tal, Hundertwasserhaus, Quellenpark and Kurpark.

On Sunday afternoon, we spontaneously decided to visit Bad Soden am Taunus. We particularly wanted to take a stroll through the spa gardens.
We enjoyed the walk. The old spa gardens, with their splendid flowers and many exotic trees, are definitely worth a visit.
We advise against hiking the jungle trail; this short, thorny section will damage your clothing and …
