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.

The summit of the Altkönig is reserved only for "real" summiteers - nothing goes up here...

View of the burned forest on Altkönig

Highlight • Viewpoint

A visual treat, especially now under snow... it has its charm... even if it is a permanent thing for nature that needs time to recover... but it is also an opportunity
