View of Oberreifenberg and castle ruins

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here, you actually have a pretty good view of Oberreifenberg, including the church (St. George), the castle ruins (Reifenberg Castle), and the St. Gertrude Chapel.
Note: The village of Niederreifenberg is located in the valley and therefore unfortunately not visible from here!

Großer Zacken Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

Idyllic group of rocks with a great view!
The rocks, which are up to 15 metres high, are also very popular with sport climbers (several climbing routes up to difficulty level 6) 👍

Kleiner Feldberg Roman Fort

Highlight • Historical Site

The Limes ran right through the Taunus more than 2,000 years ago. Countless watchtowers and forts still bear witness to this today. Some are well reconstructed and preserved, others only have the foundations. At the Kleiner Feldberg fort there are still remains of the wall, so you can get a good idea of the extent. Incidentally, this example is the highest Roman fort on the entire Limes.

View of the Altkönig and Donnersberg from the Feldberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

If the weather conditions are right, you can see up to 100 km away!
For example, in the southwest you can clearly see the highest mountain massif in the North Palatinate mountains, the almost 700 m high Donnersberg. It is approximately 77 km away.

Großer Feldberg Summit

Highlight • Summit

The Große Feldberg is not only the highest peak of the Taunus, but of the entire Rhenish Slate Mountains. The information about its exact height varies between 879 and 881 meters. The summit is extremely popular with day trippers from the Rhine-Main plain. Not only motorcyclists, racing cyclists and mountain bikers meet here on weekends, but also many motorists. It can get really crowded at peak times. Fortunately, the summit plateau is quite large. In addition to the television tower and transmission mast of the Hessian Broadcasting Corporation, there is a restaurant, two kiosks, a hiking home with an observation tower and a falconry. The most beautiful view is from the Brunhildis rock on the northern edge of the plateau. Various hiking trails lead over the summit. After all, the Taunus Club was founded up here and even Goethe liked to hike in the Taunus. There are plenty of trails for mountain bikers, including the official flow trail over the Fuchstanz to Hohemark. Racing cyclists particularly appreciate the twelve-kilometer ascent from Oberursel because of its length. The road from Schmitten is less busy, but also offers fewer vertical meters in one go. The Feldberg is by far not the most beautiful peak in the Taunus, but is definitely part of a tour in the Taunus because of its height and easy accessibility.

Brunhildis Rock (Großer Feldberg)

Highlight • Natural Monument

The meeting point is on the summit plateau. A little away from the road, you can enjoy the wide view over the Hintertaunus from here. When the visibility is good, you can see as far as the Westerwald and the Vogelsberg.

View of Nordbahnschneise and Feldberg Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Really great to ride... especially in the uphill flow with an e-bike!
Warning: Numerous remnants of the former plastic track line the trail here 😖 It can get quite slippery when wet.
