Not illustrated. 1906 Excerpt: ...In the shady grounds at the back of the Kursaal is the Wandelbahn, or covered promenade for the use of visitors in wet weather. A marble statue of Emp. William I., by Otto, was erected here in 1893. On the Lahn, at the lower end of the park, is the bath-house of the Vier Tiirme (Four Towers; PI. 12), built at the beginning of the 18th century. Adjacent is the Roman Catholic Church (PI. 4). Between the last two buildings the Kaiser-Briicke crosses the Lahn. On the left bank of the Lahn, near the Gitter-Briicke, is the New Bath House (Neue Badhaus; PI. 8), with baths supplied from the copious Neue Quelle, or New Spring, which was enclosed in 1850, the warmest (135-137) of all the waters of Ems. On the hill above the railway rises the new Romanesque Kaiser-WilhelmKirche.--From this point the shady Konig-Wilhelms-Allee descends along the bank of the river, passing the Russian Church (PI. 5) and the Kaiser-Briicke (see above), to the Silberau (restaurant, see p. 214), where the Lahn is crossed by Remy's Briicke, the lowest of the four bridges of Ems. The so-called 'Villen-Promenade' is more attractive. Beginning at the New Bath House, it crosses the railway near the station of the wire-rope railway (see below), then passes the Hotel Bella Riva and leads through wood to the open-air restaurant of Lindenbach (above the station of that name) and to the (d/ibr.) Rottmannshohe (hotel-restaurant, see p. 214). Near the Kaiser-Briicke is the station of the Wire-Rope Railway (p. 214) to the top of the wooded Malberg (1090 ft.). Pedestrians reach the top in 3/4 hr. by beautiful walks either on this (W.) side or on the E. side, passing the English Church (PI. 1) and the Schweherhauschen (PL 10; p. 214); the W. side is in the shade in the morning, the E. side in the afterno...
