Popular circular trail in Taunus Nature Park, Hesse.
The extensive circular trail around the Großer Feldberg starts at the hiking car park or the Windeck bus stop. The route leads through the idyllic forests of the historically significant Teufelsquartier im Taunus. I always watch the 800-meter-high Großer Feldberg, which is unwooded in the summit area. In addition to a lookout tower, there is also a falconry here. The well-known fox dance is also on the way, which invites you to stop for a bit.
Highlights of the hike:
- Natural forest paths
- View of the Großer Feldberg and over the Taunus
- Detour to Wp 3/49 of the World Heritage Upper Germanic-Rhaetian Limes (optional)
