Platte Hunting Lodge

Highlight • Historical Site

The hunting lodge was built in 1823-1826 by Duke Wilhelm I of Nassau. Destroyed to the outside walls in the Second World War, it is currently being gradually rebuilt by the Jagdschloss Platte e.V.
The castle can already be used for events.
From here, hikes along the main Taunus ridge can be undertaken.
We recommend a detour to the highlight "beautiful view of Wiesbaden" (komoot.de/highlight/181783).

Steinhaufen Summit

Highlight • Summit

The cairn with 531m the # 56 of the highest elevations in the Taunus (according to Wikipedia). A little away from the main path but still easily accessible, as the local conditions with a lookout point lead directly past. Unfortunately, there are also deviations from the map entries of approx. 30m here. This elevation is also provided with a trigonometric point (ground point).

Bench on the Rhein-Höhen-Weg at Tippenssee

Highlight • Rest Area

Actually, the highlight should be called the rest bench on the RHW, because at the moment there is only one bench for sitting. The second one is missing the wood, but maybe that will be replaced soon.
