However, you have to be particularly careful of snow… there are always hidden rocks that will make your feet run fast… and your bottom wet too

Altkönig's First Rampart

Highlight • Historical Site

Ring wall around the Old King. It is not entirely clear why the ring wall was built. However, it could have served as a defense.

Altkönig Summit Cross

Highlight • Summit

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.
