Latest Braunfels hotel reviews
himalia11 Says: When walking from the parking "Jahnplatz" towards the castle we discovered a sign to a "Kreüterpfad" ("herbs path"), dedicated to Otto von Brunfels, a botanist living around 1500. It's a nice path through the woods near the town wall.There are several signs about different...
himalia11 Says: As Braunfels is a climatic spa, there's of course also a spa gardens. It was build in the 18th century and has some exotic trees - we were surprised to find a sequoia there. At the entry next to the hall there's a map showing the different trees that you'll find here. The...
himalia11 Says: The Market Place is found below the castle and is very pituresque, with all the half-timbered houses. Most of these houses were build between 1700 and 1720. Also a the Market Place there's the tourist information.Next to the Lower Gate there are two restaurants, and if you...
himalia11 Says: When you walk down the stairs from the castle in direction town centre, you'll pass several gates. Also watch for the old well where people used to get their water. The last gate then with the two towers is found directly at the market place and is called "Unterste Pforte"...
himalia11 Says: With all the towers and, the castle looks like from a fairy tale, at least from the distance. It first was mentioned in 1246 and frequently was extended and remodelled. As the castle is still inhabited, you unfortunately only can see a few rooms, like the "knight's room"...
Neit Says: The main market square (Marktplatz) and the streets sorrounding it are a nice visit. This market square was just out of our Inn, so we woke up and could see this beauty panoramic.
Neit Says: If you enjoy visiting castles, you have to enter to Schloss Braunfels. It's a must.You can only enter with a guide, as the castle is inhabited and only a section is opened.
Gasthof am Turm: In Vino Veritas
Neit Says: In Vino Veritas are the first words you see at the top of the entrance door. Then, when you pass through a red curtain you enter in a pub were you will be good welcome.The place, both the pub-restaurant and the rooms are charming, and the service too. I really recommend you...
Zum Solmser Hof: Restaurant at the Market Place
himalia11 Says: The restaurant "Zum Solmser Hof", which also is a hotel, is located directly next to the Lower Gate. We sat outside, with view on the Market Place, really nice. You'll mainly get Greek food, but you'll also get a Schnitzel. Unfortunately they had no Gyros at noon, so I had a...
Gasthof am Turm: Had the feeling of a pub
darkcat_ak Says: I have to laugh about this eating experience. My German is really bad, and my parents have been taking German but don’t really use it so we had a really good time trying to figure out what the menu items were. About the same time we were ready to order, the waitress (who...
himalia11 Says: With the car, take the street B49 Limburg - Giessen. Take the exit at Solms-Burgsolms. Braunfels is signposted, from there it's about 7 km.With public transport it's not so easy as Braunfels doesn't have a train station. You can take the train Solms (railway line Limburg -...
himalia11 Says: There are several parkings in Braunfels and it should not be a problem to find a space. You'll find signs to them, but the streets are little and winding which can get a bit confusing. But Braunfels is not that big so just watch for the castle! At least the parking Jahnplatz...
himalia11 Says: Here are some more places that are worth a visit when being in this region:Wetzlar (11 km) and Weilburg (12 km): two other nice medieval cities, at the river Lahn. Also there’s a little but interesting crystal cave in Weilburg.Solm-Oberbiel: Grube Fortuna (11 km), where you...
Neit Says: Braunfels seems more little when you wander around the markplatz. If you see all as a body the town is more extensive, due to its architecture of little buildings and single houses.
Neit Says: The lion of the photograph appears frequently around the Braunfels Castle. It is a figure taken from the arms of the Solms family (the city developed around the castle of the Count Solms-Braunfels).
Neit Says: I really like this pink telephone . I wonder if they are the same colour in all Germany.
