Hiking

In the glory days of the spa town of Bad Ems, a cog railway that ran up the Malberg mountain on the Taunus side of the Lahn River ended here. The mountain and valley stations are still there today, and hikers can still make out the tracks even in a few sections through the forest. While a café has been installed at the valley station, the mountain station can only be described as completely neglected. As it appears today to the passing hiker, it is an eyesore for Bad Ems.

Enjoy these wonderful viewpoints as long as they are not completely dilapidated, like the 'Obere Malbergstation' opposite.
