A tour to the horse's head is definitely worth it. On the one hand as a destination for a magnificent view over the eastern Taunus, for a snack as a reward for the effort (benches are plentiful), on the other hand as the anticipation of an easy return trip from the heights into the Weiltal.

Very nice vantage point with a really good all-round view. The tower also protrudes further above the treetops so that the view is not obstructed. In addition, it is visible from afar.

From Riedelbach over the Rennstrasse above Mauloff past the stud near Seelenheil, then the Herzkrankenweg towards the horse head and to the tower. Traisberg. A bit down the street and then sharp left onto the Weiltalweg, past the former Rebroffvilla towards Landsteiner Mühle. Where the path meets the road left, be careful, tight bend, and immediately right again onto the Weiltalweg. Cross the street (get off) and past the Mappesmühle to Neuweilnau. At the left bend in the village turn left and descend steeply, past the small golf course and up the Schnepfenbachtal to Rennstrasse. Then left to the sports field. This round tour ends there.
