By convertible to Königstein – Curves, views and nature

Königstein is wonderfully accessible via winding roads – for example, coming from Kronberg along the romantic Viktoriastraße or from the direction of Glashütten over the heights of the Taunus. The drive through dense forests and past magnificent estates offers both driving pleasure and beautiful views of the Rhine-Main region. On sunny days, the route is especially appealing and ideal for relaxed convertible tours.

A special highlight is the drive up to the Großer Feldberg or towards Schmitten – there, spectacular serpentines and breathtaking landscapes await, making the heart of every convertible fan race.
