Höchst

Höchst

Höchst, a town with a castle and an Altstadt (Old Town) right out of a picture book, was not devastated by wartime bombing, so its castle and the market square, with its half-timber houses, are well preserved. It's a romantic place for outdoor dining and drinking. For a week in July the whole Alstadt is hung with lanterns for the Schlossfest, one of Frankfurt's more popular outdoor festivals.
