Fuchskaute Summit (657 m)

Highlight • Summit

It is the highest point in the Westerwald, but unfortunately there is no nice view from here as the highest point is in the middle of the forest.

Fuchskaute Summit

Highlight • Summit

At 657 meters, the Fuchskaute is the highest elevation in the Westerwald. However, the really highest point is not outdoors, where the cross is, but hidden in the forest next door.
