Fuchskaute

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.

January 16, 2022,Nebel-Schnee- Runde von Rehe/Ww.

In the high Westerwald we went a round from Rehe over the Fuchskaute and Waldaubach through a deep winter landscape. Visibility today was 99% zero but it was still a nice loop. In the end, the wind whistled relatively fresh and frozen through, we went back home after a lap with many photo stops 😄
