A viewing platform from which you had a good view in the post-war period. In the meantime, the view through trees can only be admired to a limited extent. The name was given to this viewing point during the occupation. The French stationed in the neighboring Hochstellerhof watch the area from here.

Rock formation that reminds of a head in profile. Clearly visible is the nose 👃🏻, as well as the eyes and forehead.

Not only the Franzosenkopf is worth seeing, but also the other rock formations on this small rock path.
