Hiking

The "Heinrichshöhe" is dedicated to an important Gelnhauser: Johann Heinrich Cassebeer (1784-1850) was a botanist, geologist, agricultural and viticulture specialist, natural scientist, mayor and pharmacist in Gelnhausen. He had chestnuts planted at this point, which are now protected as monuments. In 1914, the Frankfurt entrepreneur Johannes Höhner (1862-1945) had a lookout tower built here, of which only the foundations remain today.
