オーバーウルゼルの峠・トップ7

The summit cross at 881 m on the Grosser Feldberg in the Taunus is a striking landmark and a popular destination for hikers. It stands on the highest point of the mountain and offers a fantastic view of the surrounding landscape. Of course, you can also sign the summit book directly.

At the moment, the road through Ruppertshain is still partially closed. If you want to continue towards Schloßborn and Feldberg, you have to drive around the construction site on the main road. This means that two more short but steep ramps are in your way. Both ramps are quite challenging with double-digit gradients. The construction site in Ruppertshain will probably last until August 2024.!

A very nice little restaurant. Worthwhile

The red cross marks a pass that was used by historic trade routes and was so important that the Romans built a fort to control it. The castle in Oberreifenberg later served the same function in the Middle Ages.

The Sandplacken (669 m) is the pass between Oberursel and Schmitten im Taunus and thus into the Weil valley, which represents a natural connection towards the Lahn valley and Weilburg. Celtic finds on the Taunushang bear witness to the fact that people were already using this pass in pre-Christian times. In Roman times, the small fort Altes Jagdhaus secured the pass over which the Upper German-Rhaetian Limes runs. There is a hotel (with restaurant) and a café/restaurant on the Sandplacken.

更新 2023年5月：レストランは、HessenForstとの意見の相違により、家主によって半年以上前に営業を停止されました。 現在、建物はますます老朽化しています。 まもなく、タウヌス地方のまた一つの廃墟となるでしょう 🥴

I recommend a weekday visit beyond holiday periods.

赤十字は、ホーホタウヌスにある標高688メートルの峠です（「ツムローテンクロイツ」という名前の宿とは混同しないでください）。 それはヴァルト渓谷とフォルデラータウヌスを結び、永遠の昔から（ローマ人のずっと前から）利用されてきました。 峠の頂上は（名前の由来となった）赤い砂岩の十字架でマークされています！ 詳細情報：https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotes_Kreuz_(Taunus)?oldformat=true
