    The Steinkopf does not have a summit, but it does have a pile of stones on which a summit cross is placed. You are at an altitude of 570m and it is a nice stopover for a hike in the area.
    The path from the Steinkopf to the Eichkopf, about 1.05 km away, is an experience in summer, a truly impressive forest landscape.

      In 2016 a memorial plaque was put up in memory of the crashed team of a "raisin bomber" taunus-nachrichten.de/koenigstein/aktuelles/koenigstein/70-jahren-starben-zwei-amerikanische-luftbruecken-piloten-be-id57509. html

        Memorial to the crash of a Rosinenbomber during the Berlin Airlift. In addition to the two Americans, Karl Viktor Hagen died in the crash, not Karl von Hagen as stated in the newspaper article linked above.
