Eschbach is a borough of Usingen in the Hochtaunuskreis in Hessen. The once almost entirely agriculturally based village at the northern edge of the Usinger Becken first appeared in 1280 in the County Cleeberg under the name of Ketteneschbach. The current district of Usingen was known far beyond the Taunus already early through good catering, later through the campsite in the forest and the former weekend-settlement below the Eschbacher Klippen.

The village is located on the eponymous river at the northern edge of the Usinger Becken. Hence, situated at the northeastern border of the Taunus, it is surrounded by mixed coniferous forest, fields, and meadows. It is located 2 km north of Usingen and 32 km north of Frankfurt am Main. In the north it borders Michelbach, in the east Wernborn, in the south Usingen and in the west the Bundesstraße 456 in the direction to Grävenwiesbach and Weilburg.
