Franzosenkopf

Highlight • Summit

The "summit" itself is not very spectacular and is marked by a stone stele (trigonometry point), where a single rest bench is available.

After about 100 steps, you have climbed the viewing platform and enjoy from here a great view of Hunsrück, Taunus and the Middle Rhine Valley. Since the tower has a roof, you can endure it here even in the rain.
