Idstein

Idstein sits in the Taunus uplands in Hesse, Germany, where wooded ridges meet historic routes between the Rhine-Main area and central Germany. The compact Altstadt is defined by tightly grouped half-timbered houses, while the Hexenturm, a 12th-century keep, recalls the town’s long connection with the Counts of Nassau. Idstein Castle developed beside it as a Nassau residence, and the nearby Unionskirche is noted for its extensive 17th-century painted interior. Beyond the old centre, trails and local roads lead into the Taunus’s mixed woodland and small settlements. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Idstein and Hesse.
