The latest news in English from Oberursel in the Taunus area of Germany.
The junction of the Frankfurter Landstraße and Kurmainzer Straße will be closed from Monday, 7th October until Thursday, 10th October, 2013 to allow for re-surfacing work to take place.
During this time traffic will be diverted through Weißkirchen along the Urselbachstraße, An der Bleiche, Oberurseler Straße and Ludwig-Erhard-Straße, so extra time should be allowed for journeys along this route.
Access to the Edeka car park will still be possible for traffic coming from Oberursel.
The Maislabyrinth – a maze made out of maize – will be holding a Kräutertag (herb day) on Sunday, 8th September, 2013.
On this day, a Kräuterfee, literally a “herb fairy”, will be there and one of the highlights of the day will be a traditional Frankfurt green sauce.
The maze itself from 11am until dusk. Entry costs €2.50 for adults, €2 for children aged 10 to 16 and €1.50 for children aged 4 to 9.
To get there by car, travel to the edge of Weißkirchen on the road to Steinbach. There is a track off the road near the yellow “Oberursel Stadtteil Weißkirchen” sign leading towards Frankfurt (ie. left if you have just driving through Weißkirchen, right if you are coming from Steinbach). The maze is about 200m along this track.
If you are coming by train, the nearest station “Weißkirchen-Steinbach” is on the S5 line between Frankfurt and Bad Homburg.
