Our trek will take us across five different observation towers situated on hilltops deep within the dense Taunus forest with trail-side visibility stretching well over 100km. This includes conquering Castle Falkenstein, which offers splendid, sweeping views over Frankfurt and the surrounding Lower Main Plain.

1. Turm am Ringwall
2. Atzelbergturm
3. Lips Tempel
4. Castle Falkenstein
5. Teufelskanzel
6. Hardtbergturm

We will start at Kelkheim Bahnhof, hike west up to Turm am Ringwall, and continue our trek through the lush forest from one observation tower to the next until we reach our final destination, Königstein. Upon arrival, we will reward ourselves with a well-deserved, delicious dinner close to the Königstein train station.
