If you feel like a short hike while in Eppstein, take a walk along the panoramic path (Theodor-Fliedner-Weg) behind Eppstein's newly renovated, turn-of-the-century train station, and up the steep hill to the Kaisertempel. The Kaisertempel with its Doric columns was built in 1894 as a memorial to commemorate the Prussian victory in the Franco-Prussian War (1870/71), which unified the German Empire under King Wilhelm I of Prussia. The views of Eppstein's old town are gorgeous as you walk past Villa Anna, then take the forest walk (rather than the shortcut up the paved road) along Eppstein's stream, the Fischbach. Finally you get to the Kaisertempel with its Italian restaurant and view of the entire valley.

The restaurant is very good, although it is different from what it was in the early 1990's when under the direction of Elaine. I will never forget spending a New Year Eve celebration with music and dancing. The fire works all over the valley were incredible. Also an American Thanksgiving celebration was memorable.
