If you are interested in rural life, from May to October it would be a good idea to take a Saturday trip to Rabenscheid. From Herborn, Rabenscheid can be reached in 15 minutes or so by heading west on the B255. The farmers’ market offers a fine selection of home-made jams and local specialities such as different varieties of ham sausage (Schinkenwurst) and much more! There are places to sit for visitors looking for a weekend break from the hectic pace of the big city. An open-air market is different, has an atmosphere and pleasures all its own, and is certainly well worth a visit.
Every Friday the Cornmarket Square in Herborn is occupied by street traders. Between 9 am and 6 pm on a Friday you can get whatever you need in the way of foodstuffs: fresh eggs, cheese, a wide variety of sausages, fish, honey, and flowers as well, plus a tasty Bratwurst to see you through between meals.
