Prinz von Hessen Quarry

Highlight • Lake

Idyllic lake in the forest, originated in the early 20th century by lignite mining. In the summer quite lively on weekends. Out of season and in bad weather but pleasingly little visited.

View of Oberfeld

Highlight • Viewpoint

Here you can soak up the country air again and enjoy the view before throwing yourself into the hustle and bustle of Darmstadt. The Rosen- and Mathildenhöhe are not far away and neither is the Hundertwasserhaus.
