Opel Zoo & sponsorship of animals
Maria250 Says: Back when I was a child, dad took me & gfs often to the Opel Zoo, such sponsorships didn't exist back then.. Yet I do think it's a great idea. Some (German only written) explanations about any sponsorship are provided under the category Zoofoerderer.
Opel Zoo & its dining place Sambesi
Maria250 Says: Given it's beautiful sunshine, then it feels great to take a break & seat at Opel Zoo's dining place Sambesi. It's close to the elephants' camp, and a nice place right at the playground too.We've had fries, sausage, and the German specality Gruene Sosse & boiled eggs. It's a...
Opel Zoo & its loveliest playgrounds
Maria250 Says: Within Opel Zoo, there are two special sections. The first section contains a petting zoo where children can feed and pet the animals and the second section contains various play areas. These areas include slides, trampolines and a miniature railway system. The dining places...
Maria250 Says: Not too sure what to think about zoos yet The Opel Zoo is one awesome place for any animals. And there for a truly beautiful and fun place to visit with or without kids. Opel Zoo is about 5 mns from Koenigstein town, and about a 20 mns drive from Frankfurt. Unlike other zoos...
Koenigstein's St. Marien Church
Maria250 Says: Under the partnership of Koenigstein and Le Cannet-Rocheville are frequent exchange visits between the communities, involving particularly young people, clubs and church communities.
Maria250 Says: Truly a wonderful place for kids too. It's not about consuming but creating, following fantasy and fairies. Of course keep a close eye on your little ones. Also there is a small store with a very nice dude providing ice cream.
Maria250 Says: Very much recommend a walk to, or around, the Falkenstein Fortress not just because I personally do love fortresses, castles, ruins, towers but because this place is indeed an extra ordinary one. Whether yes or no, one loves fortresses and castles, there it does feel and...
OSpencers Says: The Konigstein Castle ruins are a great diversion if your in the area. On entrance you have nearly free run of the whole place. The view from the tower is excellent. Frankfurt and much of the Main valley are visable. The town is very nice as well and has a beautiful Kurpark....
Maria250 Says: Restaurant Ratsstuben lies right at the foot of Falkenstein Fortress, and it looks very inviting for having some lunch after a nice hike. Unfortunately we haven't tried it yet. But we will next time.
Restaurant Leimeister: Most delicious salad
Maria250 Says: Had a most delicious salad with sun flowers and honey at restaurant Leimeister. Delicious beyond words. Ambience there was very quiet, guests were talking in distinct tone only. Some slow jazz music played, and atmosphere seemed not too joyful for my taste. Yet their food...
Helpfulness
Shopping at Koenigstein's pedestrian zone is rather about expensive, high quality, specialty shops, antique shops, boutiques, high-end shops. No low price - outlets, drugstores or chain stores. However it's a most lovely, friendly, quiet area which one should not just pass by in a hurry.

Helpfulness
13 April 2006, quoting from http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com
Brazilian flags have been flying over Koenigstein im Taunus ever since the most instantly recognisable team in world sport chose the small town 13 miles from Germany's financial capital as its base for the early stages of this summer's FIFA World Cup.
The Brazilians have booked all 50 rooms at the Kempinski Hotel Falkenstein, which overlooks an idyllic town of cobbled streets and wood-framed houses where more than 100 millionaires have made their home...
The excitement in the pretty town of 18,000 people is palpable, although it is tinged with concern about a possible influx of noisy football fans hoping to catch a glimpse of their heroes.
"It's the most important event since Kaiser Wilhelm II came to visit," said Karl-Gustav Schramm, one of the town officials responsible for the Brazilians' visit.
Kaiser Wilhelm II, the last emperor of Germany, inaugurated a convalescent home for high-ranking soldiers in the town in 1909. Almost a century later, the very same neo-classical building, now converted into one of the few hotels in Europe to be classified five star plus, will be home to Brazil team from 5-16 June..
The hotel staff have already been preparing for weeks for their very special guests. "We are taking courses, not only in Portuguese, but also to learn about Brazil as a country and Brazilian customs," said hotel manager Cyrus Heydarian...
Koenigstein residents will have to make do with fashion parades, beach soccer tournaments and samba dance shows being organised by the local authorities...
One of the unknowns is how many visitors will come to the town. Five thousand Brazilian tourists have already booked hotels in Cologne, but some are expected to spend a day or two in Koenigstein...
