Sept. 2016//Restaurant has closed, hope it reopens next year!
The views from the balcony at Ristorante Kaisertempel are wonderful: on the left, you see the classical temple (1894) after which the restaurant is named; below, you see Alt-Eppstein; beyond, the valley all the way to Niedernhausen.
The panoramic view and tasty Italian food are well worth the drive up the windy one-lane road (Gimbacher Straße) to the top of the Staufen.
If you have extra time, take the forest path to the right behind the restaurant's parking lot to visit the Mendelssohn Memorial. The composer Felix Mendelssohn stayed in Eppstein several times between 1837 and his death in 1847.
