Our city Hofheim:
Hofheim is a modern city with 40.000 citizens on the edge of the uplands Taunus, directly connected to Frankfurt, Mainz, Wiesbaden and Frankfurt Airport (but no aircraft noise- that´s why we moved here!). Hofheim has several events during the year from an ice scating arena in the winter to open air concerts in the summer.
Therefore Hofheim is very popular among young families and the older generation who are looking for an escape from the big cities, but want close connection to them. Hofheim has all kinds of good restaurants from A(ustrian) food - Z(irndorfer) beer.
