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.

View of the Rhine-Main region from Altkönig

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Altkönig should definitely be climbed, the paths are a bit more challenging (loose ground) but the view is breathtaking for a low mountain range.
