    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.

        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
