    At 773 m, the Taufstein is the highest elevation in the Vogelsberg Volcanic Region!
    Here at the foot of the mountain, in a nature reserve, is the Geosite of the Year 2013:
    The boulder dump at the Taufstein: geopark-vogelsberg.de/?id=159
    Note: The Bismarck Tower on the Taufstein has unfortunately been closed for several years due to structural damage.

      From here climb to the Bismarck Tower, which is currently closed due to structural damage.

        My guided tours are generally for mountain bikers who have a good level of experience with single trails, roots, stones or gravel, steep descents and ascents. The routes offer a lot of variety and wonderful nature. You should be in good shape and your backpack should be filled with drinks and small snacks. Most routes are between 30-40km long and have around 600 - 800m of elevation.
        So my tip: not suitable for newbies, beginners and inexperienced people.
        Best wishes, Klaus
