Hiking

The red cross marks a pass that was used by historic trade routes and was so important that the Romans built a fort to control it. The castle in Oberreifenberg later served the same function in the Middle Ages.

Hiking

A sandstone cross that no longer looks red due to environmental influences and weather. There is also a restaurant at the crossroads and many parking spaces in the immediate and nearby area. Many hiking trails run past this spot, including the Limes Adventure Trail.

Cross-country skiing

On the one hand, the Red Cross is an important pass in the Hochtaunus (688 m above sea level).
But there is also a striking, historical landmark here:
A red sandstone cross!
