A place for vocation and enjoy nature at its best you can go walking, or you can go and buy tickets for boat to enjoy sailing around bad-ems
Ticket machine doesnt work and won't accept cards. No attendant.
(Translated by Google) Highly recommended! Entry is fair and the view and timing are very good. The system works fully automatically and intuitively. A ride takes around 70 seconds and there are seats and standing room at the glass front. The gondola stops directly on the river promenade and is a good addition to a visit to the city of Bad Ems. (Original) Sehr empfehlenswert! Der Eintritt ist fair und die Aussicht sowie die Taktung sehr gut. Die Anlage funktioniert vollautomatisch und intuitiv. Rund 70 Sekunden dauert eine Fahrt, Sitzplätze sind vorhanden, ebenso wie Stehplätze an der Glasfront. Die Gondel hält direkt an Flusspromenade und inkludiert sich so gut in einen Besuch der Stadt Bad Ems.
(Translated by Google) If you're already there, you should definitely take this little excursion. Whether you drive up and down or walk down from the top, it's worth it. (Original) Wenn man schon mal da ist, sollte man dieses kleinen Ausflug auf jeden Fall mitnehmen. Egal ob man hoch und runter fährt oder von oben runter läuft. Es lohnt sich
(Translated by Google) A fair price for an interesting tour that offers a beautiful view of Bad Ems. Those who are good walkers might want to take the ride up, linger at the restaurant at the Bismarck Tower, and then leisurely stroll down one of the many hiking trails. Not only is it a wonderful spa town with fascinating buildings and an endless array of culture, but it also has a very nice railway! (Original) Ein fairer Preis für eine interessante Tour, die einen wunderschönen Ausblick auf Bad Ems erlaubt. Wer gut zu Fuß ist, sollte vielleicht nach oben fahren, im Restaurant am Bismarckturm Verweilen, um dann in aller Ruhe einen der vielen Wanderwege nach unten zu spazieren. Nicht nur eine tolle Kurstadt mit hochinteressanten Gebäuden, unendlich viel Kultur, auch eine sehr schöne Bahn !

Russian Orthodox church

Slide 1 of 8
(Translated by Google) The church is beautiful and very well preserved inside. If you are interested in church architecture, a visit is highly recommended. Admission for adults is one euro, which I was happy to contribute towards the maintenance of the building. (Original) Die Kirche ist wunderschön und auch innen sehr gut erhalten. Wer sich für Kirchenarchitektur interessiert dem sei ein Besuch wärmstens zu empfehlen. Der Eintritt für Erwachsene beträgt einen Euro, den ich gerne für die Erhaltung des Gebäudes beigetragen habe.
(Translated by Google) A very beautiful little church. Friendly staff. You can rent a scarf. Despite the holiday, today (Pfingstmontag) is open! (Original) Очень красивая маленькая церковь. Приветливый персонал. Можно взять платок напрокат. Несмотря на выходной, сегодня (Pfingstmontag) открыта!
(Translated by Google) It turns out that now you have to pay money to get into the house of God. Is this God's house, where entry costs money? Yes, you can say that you need to maintain the church and so on, I absolutely agree, but any donation must be voluntary. And if you are poor and you don’t have money, not even this euro, anything can happen in life, then they won’t let you into this house. Should anyone be ashamed or should they not be ashamed? And the question arises again - is this God’s house? Anyone who has read the Bible can easily answer this easy question, the problem is that few people have read it) and by chance they don’t sell indulgences there?)) (Original) Оказывается теперь чтобы попасть в дом Божий надо деньги платить. А Божий ли это дом, где вход за деньги? Да, можно сказать надо содержать церковь и так далее, абсолютно согласен, но любое пожертвование должно быть добровольно. А если ты беден и у тебя денег нет, даже этого евро, всякое в жизни бывает, то в дом тебя этот не пустят. Стыдно должно быть или кому то и не стыдно? И встаёт опять вопрос - Божий ли это дом, каждый прочитавший Библию легко сам ответит на этот лёгкий вопрос, проблема в том, что мало кто читал)а индульгенцию там случайно не продают?))
(Translated by Google) This was my first time in a Russian Orthodox church. It is beautiful to look at and the service is also interesting to listen to. Even the location in this beautiful city makes it worth driving to Bad Ems and taking a walk along the Lahn. (Original) Ich war nun zum ersten mal in einer Russisch- Orthodoxen- Kirche. Es ist schön anzusehen und auch der Gottesdienst interessant anzuhöhren. Selbst die lage in dieser schönen Stadt ist es Wert nach Bad Ems zu fahren und einen Spaziergang entlang der Lahn zu machen.
(Translated by Google) We couldn't look at the church from the inside, but the splendor is beautiful to see from the outside, the dome is the most beautiful (Original) Von innen konnten wir uns die Kirche nicht ansehen, aber von außen ist die Pracht schön anzusehen,die Kuppel sind am schönsten

Drinking water fountain
Sights & Landmarks
Slide 1 of 8
(Translated by Google) A great covered hall, one floor below, original from the time when Ems was a large, internationally renowned spa. Here you can try the healing water from two taps (don't bottle it, you can do it 200 m further across the Lahn at the "Emser Kränchen"). A board in the fountain pagoda informs you what ingredients the water contains. A must for a (spa) guest in Ems. (Original) Eine tolle überdachte Halle, ein Geschoss tiefer, Original aus der Zeit, als Ems großes, international renomiertes Kurbad gewesen ist. Hier können Sie von zwei Zapfhähnen das Heilwasser probieren (nicht abfüllen, das können Sie 200 m weiter über die Lahn am "Emser Kränchen"). Eine Tafel informiert Sie in der Brunnenpagode, was für Inhaltsstoffe das Wasser enthält. Ein Muss für einen (Kur)Gast in Ems.
(Translated by Google) Like many mineral-rich springs, the water is very salty and has an iron taste. Some people don't like it, but I do! (Original) Das Wasser ist wie viele stark mineralhaltige Quellen sehr salzig und hat einen Eisengeschmack. Manchen schmeckt das nicht, mir schon!
(Translated by Google) A very central location and beautifully laid out, in the center of the city. Everything that is healthy tastes and smells terribly like rotten eggs, including the water from this spring. A tip: hold your nose and then swallow! (Original) Ein sehr zentraler Standort und toll angelegt,im Zentrum der Stadt. Alles was Gesund ist schmeckt und riecht fürchterlich nach faulen Eiern, so auch das Wasser aus dieser Quelle. Ein Tip: Nase zuhalten und dann erst schlucken!
(Translated by Google) 46 degree warm drinking water spring that has all sorts of healthy additives. But unfortunately also sulfide, which is why the water tastes like rotten eggs. But it's still healthy! (Original) 46 Grad warme Trinkwasserquelle, die allerlei gesunde Zusätze hat. Aber leider auch Sulfid, deshalb schmeckt das Wasser nach faulen Eiern. Ist aber trotzdem gesund!
(Translated by Google) We'd rather not talk about the taste of the water, everyone has to try it for themselves. It's always healthy. But I find the view of the fountain much more interesting. An open vessel and wonderful tile work. This is what makes these fountains so special. Please note the opening times, the fountain is not always open. (Original) Vom Geschmack des Wassers wollen wir lieber nicht reden, muss jeder selber probieren. Gesund ist es allemal. Viel interessanter finde ich aber die Ansicht des Brunnens. Ein offenes Gefäß und wunderbare Fliesenarbeit. Das macht den besonderen Charme dieser Brunnen aus. Man beachte die Öffnungszeiten, der Brunnen ist nicht immer geöffnet.
(Translated by Google) Quite a beautiful place, you can take a lot of good photos. The water is not the most delicious, one might say, it’s not for everyone. But they write that it is very useful. I didn’t see that there was a descent to the source for the disabled. There are stairs that are not safe even for small children who can move independently. Near a park, hotel, restaurants. (Original) Довольно красивое место, можно сделать много хороших фотографий. Вода не самая вкусная, можно сказать, на любителя. Но зато, пишут, что очень полезная. Не видела, чтобы был спуск к источнику для инвалидов. Есть лестница, которая не безопасна даже для маленьких детей, которые передвигаются самостоятельно. Рядом парк, отель, рестораны.

Great place, Great atmosphere! Friendly people and awesome building.
Working girls are disrespectful. They argued with my friend about an issue. (I'm from another nation and I speak English, so I didn't understand what was going on.) She thought I was German and raised his voice and said, 'Don't you know German so you don't understand what I'm saying?' I stated that I only knew English. She didn't even know enough English to understand this sentence. Instead of teaching people German, she should leave her village and learn English.
Exterior 5, but it's small inside and that covid protocols 😥
It's very clear and good service
(Translated by Google) The casino is small but my stay was pleasant and the staff is nice. You should just ban smoking everywhere, it smells like cigarettes, that's no longer pleasant. (Original) Die Spielbank ist klein aber mein Aufenthalt war angenehm das Personal ist nett. Man sollte nur das Rauchen verbieten überall stinkt🙊 es nach Zigarette,das ist nicht mehr angenehm.

Absolutely brilliant restaurant! The food was delicious and service was great. Fast service too.
One of the rare instances where a great location is accompanied by great food! Highly recommended
Fantastic views -breathtaking, simple menu equals well prepared food. The dishes were so fresh and delicious. The road is curvey but so pretty and totally worth it. Highly recommended.
Great view, unfortunately we were there for coffee and cake but will definitely be coming back to try the delicious looking plates. The indoor section seems very good too....only the drive there is not easy but that is to be expected due to the extraordinary location.
Good coffee (cappuccino!) and cake. Amazing views. Friendly staff.
Great place with fantastic views!
(Translated by Google) Very nicely located with a great view over Bad Ems. The menu is surprisingly diverse with meat, fish, vegetarian and sweets. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very nice, we were on the terrace and enjoyed the view and the sun. The service was very friendly and looked after the guests present very well and quickly. The food was well prepared. A good price/performance ratio. (Original) Sehr schön gelegen mit tollem Ausblick über Bad Ems. Die Karte überraschend vielfältig mit Fleisch, Fisch, Vegetarisch und Süßkram. Das Ambiente im Restaurant sehr schön, wir waren auf der Terrasse und haben die Aussicht und die Sonne genossen.

(Translated by Google) A visit to the city museum is definitely recommended. There are many great exhibits to admire and the staff are very accommodating and friendly if you have any questions about the exhibits. A gem in Bad Ems. Clear recommendation to visit. (Original) Ein Besuch im Stadtmuseum ist unbedingt empfehlenswert. Es gibt viele tolle Ausstellungsstücke zu bestaunen und die Mitarbeiter sind bei Fragen zu den Exponaten sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich. Ein Kleinod in Bad Ems. Klare Besuchsempfehlung.
(Translated by Google) The visit to the museum was a lot of fun. The ladies on site were very friendly and accommodating. Admission is free, but small donations are welcome. The museum is lovingly and variedly designed. You can see that a lot of time was invested in arranging the exhibits and a lot of love went into it. We found the history of Bad Ems as a health resort particularly interesting. You can then visit many historical places directly in Bad Ems, such as the casino. A visit is absolutely recommended (Original) Der Besuch im Museum hat viel Spaß gemacht. Die Damen vor Ort waren sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Der Eintritt ist frei, es werden aber gern kleine Spenden gesammelt. Das Museum ist liebevoll und abwechslungsreich gestaltet. Man sieht, dass viel Zeit investiert wurde, um die Exponate anzuordnen und viel Liebe hinein geflossen ist. Besonders interessant fanden wir die Geschichte von Bad Ems als Kurort. Viele historische Orte kann man dann auch direkt in Bad Ems besichtigen, wie bspw die Spielbank. Ein Besuch ist absolut empfehlenswert
(Translated by Google) Small but nice - the history of Bad Ems in just a few rooms, but carefully selected exhibits from the spa history and the city's history itself. I appreciated the former archivist Dr. S. very much, because I even wrote my school-internal BLL (scientific paper, voluntary in high schools at the time) with him and he was there to help and advise me a lot. It is a free gem that should definitely be visited in Bad Ems! (Original) Klein, aber fein - die Geschichte von Bad Ems in wenigen Räumen, aber sorgfältig ausgewählten Exponaten der Kurgeschichte und der Stadtgeschichte an sich. Ich schätzte den ehemaligen Archivar Dr. S. sehr, weil ich bei ihm sogar meine schulinterne BLL (wissenschaftliche Arbeit, damals in Gymnasien freiwillig) geschrieben habe und er mit viel Rat und Tat zur Seite stand. Es ist ein kostenloses Schmuckstück, das in Bad Ems unbedingt besucht werden sollte!
(Translated by Google) Interesting exhibition. Also free of charge. Server recommended (Original) Interessante Ausstellung . Darüberhinaus auch noch kostenlos. Server zu empfehlen
(Translated by Google) A small, fine museum that is well worth seeing. (Original) Sehr sehenswertes kleines, feines Museum.
