Great Feldberg

Great Feldberg

The Großer Feldberg, at 881 meters the highest mountain in the Taunus, is a true highlight for convertible drivers who want to combine nature, driving pleasure, and spectacular views on a convertible tour in Hesse.

Nestled in dense forests and with winding access roads from all directions, the Feldberg is a popular destination for day trips. Whether you're coming from the Rhine-Main area, perhaps on the Hochtaunusstraße or on a convertible tour around Frankfurt, the drive to the Feldberg is one of the most beautiful experiences you can have with the top down.

Dreamy convertible routes around the Großer Feldberg

Several scenic routes lead up to the Großer Feldberg. The route from Königstein via Falkenstein to Sandplacken and further to the summit is particularly recommended. This route offers tight curves, dense forests, and repeatedly impressive panoramic views of the surrounding area. Especially on warm weekends, this tour is popular with convertible and motorcycle riders alike – not least because of the legendary observation tower at the Feldberg summit.

The drive from Oberursel through the Weiltal is also very picturesque. The winding road snakes through the Taunus forest and invites leisurely cruising or dynamic driving. If you wish, you can make a stop in the idyllic village of Schmitten or take in the view from the Kleiner Feldberg along the way.

The Großer Feldberg – pure nature and plenty of views

Upon arrival at the top, a unique panoramic view awaits you – on clear days, visibility extends over the entire Taunus, the Rhine-Main area all the way to the Spessart or even to the Donnersberg in the Palatinate. The observation tower, the Feldberghaus, and several snack options invite you to linger. It is particularly nice to park the convertible, take a deep breath, and enjoy the tranquility and fresh air.

Around the Feldberg, numerous hiking trails also start if you need a break from driving. For those who like to be sporty, you can leave the car and walk a bit – for example, to the Altkönig, a neighboring ridge with Celtic ramparts and a mystical atmosphere.

The Großer Feldberg – A must for every convertible fan in the Taunus

The Großer Feldberg is not only the highest point in the Taunus but also one of the most exciting for a convertible drive. The spectacular access roads, diverse nature, and proximity to charming places like Königstein, Kronberg, or Bad Homburg make it a perfect destination for day trips. Anyone who enjoys driving, loves nature, and wants to enjoy the freedom of the open air should not miss this route.
