View of the Rhine-Main region from Altkönig

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Altkönig should definitely be climbed, the paths are a bit more challenging (loose ground) but the view is breathtaking for a low mountain range.

View of Großer Feldberg from Altkönig

Highlight • Viewpoint

Once you have made the climb through the scree, you are in a somehow mystical place.
Especially when the weather is bad and it is hazy, foggy and the surrounding area is covered in clouds.

Altkönig Summit

Highlight • Summit

The summit of the Altkönig is reserved only for "real" summiteers - nothing goes up here...

Actually THE place to stop off on the way to or coming from the Großer Feldberg and the Altkönig. Always full, very popular with hikers and bikers! Also managed in winter.

And when Mother Holle was at work it has a special charm... even if the white wall... well... in the snow... you understand... is white anyway

On the summit of the 825 m high small Feldberg, which belongs to the municipality of Glashütten, there are several physical, meteorological and geophysical measuring stations in a fenced area.

In the “Hans Ludwig Neumann Observatory” of the Physical Association of Frankfurt, the solar system is searched for small planets. From 2006 to 2011, 119 minor planets were discovered there.

With modern seismological measuring instruments in a bunker 5 m below the earth's surface, the measurements taken there are used, among other things, to explore the structure of the earth's interior. In the INUIT research group at the Institute for Meteorology and Geophysics at the University of Frankfurt, aerosols suspended in the air are being investigated with regard to their importance as condensation nuclei for cloud formation.
