Geographical Location

The valley system of Ernst Bach occupies the central part of the hinterland forest. With the exception of the agricultural land of the farm Solution (approximately 50 hectares) is forested the entire catchment area of the seriousness of Bach and uninhabited. There are no paved roads here. Thus, the Ernstbachtal and the difference be -border hinterland forest one of the largest, cut up not by such paths ecological sanctuaries of wildlife in Hesse. Since there are in the whole valley no actual tourist destinations, and it is far from the surrounding tourist infrastructure, it is, apart from those involved in forestry and hunting people, absolutely deserted. This is again, very close to the metropolitan area Rhein- Main, an attraction in itself.

The valley is served by the Wisperstraße from between the Lauksburg and the chamber castle on the Hermann walkway through a forest that finds the hinterland forest road that runs along the ridge line between the Ernstbachtal and the Gladbachtal and Hausen performs prior to the height at the farm Solution connection.

Although the rainfall is in Ernstbachtal rather low, averaging less than 800 mm per year, and the brook leads correspondingly little water, began here in 1977 plans to build a water dam to ensure the supply of the Rhine -Main area. The plans were abandoned, however, not least because in the following years, the forecasts have been corrected for water consumption down.
