FFM Kalbach - Kalbacher Stadtpfad

How to get there:

By car
Please mind that the whole of Kalbach is a 30 km/h zone (no further signs in the village) and we have had radar checks in the past.

A) From Wiesbaden and anything south of Frankfurt
A3 to Frankfurt
A5 dir. "Hannover, Kassel, Dortmund" to Bad Homburger Kreuz (A5/A661)
Change to
A661 dir. "Offenbach, Frankfurt-Ost"
Take first exit (after 800 m) "Nieder-Eschbach, Kalbach, Bonames"

At traffic light (T-junction) turn left (Am Martinszehnten)
Straight over first traffic light (100 m)
(passing McDonald's and petrol station on your right, athletics hall and golf range on your left)
Next traffic light (c. 800 m) turn right (NOT straight into Kalbach) onto the bypass
Follow for about 2 k (cross one traffic light)
At second traffic light turn left into Kalbach
Straight downhill for about 700 m
As the street curves left you turn slightly right and immediately left again (effectively you go straight): There you are! After 20 m the car park is on your left.

B) From the North
A5 to Bad Homburger Kreuz
A661 dir. "Offenbach, Frankfurt-Ost"
Immediately take first exit "Nieder-Eschbach, Kalbach, Bonames"
At traffic light turn left (signs to Kalbach, I think)
Pass underneath the motorway and go straight over two traffic lights
(passing McDonald's and petrol station on your right, athletics hall and golf range on your left)
and follow directions as above under A)

C) From South East and East of Frankfurt
Follow A661 towards Bad Homburg
Exit "Nieder-Eschbach, Kalbach, Bonames"
And then as under B) and A)

By public transport (for connections: www.bahn.de)

From Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof
Take any S-Bahn to Hauptwache (2 stops)

before going underneath motorway turn left (footpath downhill)
At the bottom cross stream (bridge)
Turn right, underneath motorway
Straight 300 m (passing Schrebergärten on your left)
