Pferdskopf

Pferdskopf is a mountain summit in the Taunus range in Hesse, standing at around 660 meters in elevation. A wooden observation tower rises from the summit, allowing visitors to view the surrounding landscape from above.

A steel tower was built in the late 1800s to give visitors views of the landscape and served as a landmark for many decades. In the 1980s, it was replaced with a new wooden structure to meet modern standards.

The summit draws local hikers and visitors seeking views of the Taunus landscape from above. People come here regularly to experience the terrain and the sense of achievement that comes from reaching the top.

The mountain is accessible from several directions, with parking areas available for visitors nearby. Well-marked trails lead to the summit and the observation tower.

The observation tower offers views across multiple regions around the Taunus on clear days. Many visitors return at different times of year to see how the vegetation and distant views change.
