Facts and practical information

Eschbach is a borough of Usingen in the Hochtaunuskreis in Hessen. The once almost entirely agriculturally based village at the northern edge of the Usinger Becken first appeared in 1280 in the County Cleeberg under the name of Ketteneschbach. The current district of Usingen was known far beyond the Taunus already early through good catering, later through the campsite in the forest and the former weekend-settlement below the Eschbacher Klippen.
