Neu-Anspach: Hessenpark, Hiking Trails and Cycling Route

Neu-Anspach is centrally located in the Hintertaunus and, thanks to its good transport links, is an ideal starting and finishing point for hiking and cycling tours. If you are looking for a hotel for a stay here, you can plan your excursions around your preferred focus: the history of village life in Hesse, a hike, or a cycling route that passes through the town.

Hessenpark and Village History

Hessenpark in Neu-Anspach brings the history of village life in Hesse to life in more than one hundred buildings from past centuries. At the open-air museum, children and adults can follow a family route together to discover how people used to live, dwell and work. The buildings provide a physical setting for the theme of village life; the route also directs attention to people’s everyday lives.

There are places to stop for a meal at the museum, too: the market square and the North Hesse building group are home to rustic inns serving regional specialities. As individual businesses may change, it is advisable to check what is currently on offer before your visit.

Hiking: Different Trail Profiles

The Wild Boar Route starts at the village community centre in Hausen-Arnsbach, a district of Neu-Anspach. It is about three kilometres long and suitable for pushchairs. Along the way, the hike passes through forest, fields and open countryside; information boards and hands-on stations are part of the trail. This makes the route a combination of a manageable distance, nature and things to discover along the way.

The Elisabeth Trail is a considerably longer option: this challenging pilgrimage and hiking trail is 53.87 kilometres long and passes through Neu-Anspach. When choosing between them, you can weigh the Wild Boar Route’s roughly three kilometres and pushchair suitability against a 53.87-kilometre trail rated as challenging. Before setting out, it is advisable to check current trail and access conditions.

Cycling Through Several Towns

The Usa or Usatal cycle path runs from Schmitten-Brombach via Usingen and Neu-Anspach towards the Wetterau region. Neu-Anspach is therefore part of a regional cycling route. This offers a different spatial perspective from a hike on the Wild Boar Route, which starts in Hausen-Arnsbach. If cycling is your focus, the sequence of towns listed above helps you understand the route. In the Hochtaunus, there are six e-bike charging stations right by the Hessenpark open-air museum; check the current details in advance.

Forest Swimming Pool on the Edge of the Woods

The forest swimming pool is located on the edge of the woods, surrounded by nature, and offers a break from the noise of everyday life. A separate paddling pool for toddlers is a practical detail to consider when planning a visit with young children. As facilities may change, it is advisable to check the latest information about the pool before your visit.
