ウージンゲンの絶景の山頂・トップ20

Brutally beautiful view over the sugar-coated lowlands.. endless expanse

The meeting point is on the summit plateau. A little away from the road, you can enjoy the wide view over the Hintertaunus from here. When the visibility is good, you can see as far as the Westerwald and the Vogelsberg.

The ascent extends over about 10 km with an average of 4.8%. At the beginning it is a bit more moderate - the closer you get to the "summit" the steeper it gets - up to about 8% - but it's fun to drive up. The road is good - but if there is traffic, you have to be careful

Very pleasant climb from Oberursel. Only from Sandplacken onwards does it become steep again by up to 10%. If you like it a little harder, go up via Königsstein and Billtahlhöhe. As already mentioned, you should always pay attention to the temperature difference. I was half frozen on the descent because I only had a wind vest with me. But generally not a problem in summer. And unfortunately a lot of traffic, especially on the weekends.

I recommend a weekday visit beyond holiday periods.

@ frankfaehrt Fahrrad: It is best to cycle here during the week outside of the holiday season, when there is almost nothing going on. On Sundays the tourists romp around here. So not "even on Sundays" but "especially on Sundays".

Yes it is really a nice tour/segment. However, I have to disagree with @Jochen. The traffic is quite heavy at times, at least until the sand is paved. It is best to drive early or late. Certainly not in rush hour. The section from Sandplacken to the summit is then a little quieter.

Very nice climb, especially for drivers who are not mountain fleas.
