Pferdskopf, Mountain summit in Taunus range, Hesse, Germany
Pferdskopf reaches an elevation of 662.6 meters above sea level and contains a wooden observation tower measuring 34 meters in height.
The original 18-meter steel tower constructed by the Taunusklub mountain association in 1895 served visitors for 65 years until its replacement.
Local hiking groups maintain multiple marked trails leading to the summit, connecting various points throughout the Taunus mountain range network.
The mountain provides access points from multiple directions, with designated parking areas and clear signage guiding visitors to the observation tower.
The current wooden tower, constructed in 1987, enables visitors to observe weather patterns and seasonal changes across the surrounding landscape.
