The Taunus Observatory on the Little Feldberg in the Taunus is a facility of the Goethe University Frankfurt am Main and is assigned to the Institute for Atmosphere and Environment (IAU) and the Institute for Earth Sciences in the Department of Earth Sciences / Geography (https: //www.uni- frankfurt.de/44243354/Taunus_Observatorium).
The institute is normally not accessible, but the immediate area has something special, old orchard trees grow here instead of the spruces that are otherwise common in the Taunus.
