Victoria Temple

Highlight • Monument

A lovely place to take a rest. From the Victoria Temple you have a beautiful view over Frankfurt and as far as the hills of the Odenwald. In the romantic pavilion you can sit in the shade and relax.

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.

June 5, 2025,The Lord of the Rings Trail 🤩

This time, I started my Altkönig summit tour from Kronberg, and on the small, winding paths dotted with highlights, I felt like I was in the movie Lord of the Rings, just waiting for an orc to come around the corner 😂 A fantastic climb, a certain level of fitness is absolutely essential to ensure the fun doesn't fall by …

June 7, 2025,The Lord of the Rings Trail 🤩

I had to run my beloved 🥰 trail again today, but this time in a sporty way, and I'm quite happy with the result 😀-

Very important!!!🚨

Please be careful on the descent, especially if it's been raining, because then it gets really tricky as the scree starts to loosen. Otherwise, have fun and see you on the next trail …

November 23, 2024,First Taunus snow hike ☃️

I couldn't resist the call of the first snow of the year. Despite a slight cold, I went for a little walk home to the Altkönig. After all, fresh air and exercise are good for you 🤷‍♀️
