Alzenau Castle

Highlight • Castle

I lived in the area for a long time, but it wasn't until today that I finally found my way to the castle.
Very impressive and in very good shape.

Ludwig Tower (Hahnenkamm)

Highlight • Viewpoint

So far, the tower was always open. Should he ever be closed - the key is in the mountain inn.

October 3, 2021,Ludwigsturm – Hahnenkammsee Runde von Alzenau Burg

The highlights were the Hahnenkamm itself with the narrow path and the view and of course the Ludwigsturm with the 360 degree panorama, especially with a view of the Frankfurt skyline and the Feldberg in the background.

... and there are nice MTB trails there too.

Well, I wouldn't do the tour again like this, at most when it's very hot, since the tour mostly runs in the forest. Highlights : Alzenau Castle, Hahnenkammsee, Hahnenkamm. There are a lot of mountain bikers on the trails
