Roman Watchtower on Gaulskopf

Highlight • Monument

Wonderful as a stage destination. On the one hand a great view of the Wetterau, on the other hand the green area behind the tower offers space for a picnic.

Steinkopf TV Tower

Highlight • Monument

The television tower on the Steinkopf is a wonderful place to take a break and to start various descents, provided you have enough breath to climb up

Lower Viewpoint of the Old Quarry

Highlight • Viewpoint

Former quartzite quarry, and since 2010 a nature reserve!
The quarry in the Ober-Rosbacher Stadtwald was shut down more than 20 years ago. Nature has long since recaptured the vast pit ... with a lake and several small islands.
