The Altkönig is the most alpine of the peaks in the Taunus. Challenging hiking and biking. This path is still the easiest until shortly before the summit, where two tricky spots are waiting.
There is no view of any 1000s, but a bizarre summit with S2-S4 level. However, it is illegal to drive because it is a nature reserve. An accident here can be very expensive (or get caught).

Very stony section just before the summit. Not suitable for trekking cyclists!
