Großer Feldberg (Taunus)
Großer Feldberg im Taunus
The highest peak of the Taunus Mountains (about 880 m), with a summit observation tower overlooking the Main plain and Frankfurt's skyline.
The highest peak of the Taunus, about 25 km northwest of Frankfurt, rises to roughly 880 metres above sea level. Locals come here to hike, cycle and go sledding in winter. The summit has an observation tower and restaurants, and on clear days you can see Frankfurt's skyline and the distant Odenwald hills. Numerous hiking trails in the area link to the castle town of Kronberg or the ruins of Königstein Castle. You can drive straight to the summit car park, or take a bus up the mountain from places such as Oberursel on weekends.
