Hohe Kanzel, Mountain summit in Taunus range, Hesse, Germany.

Hohe Kanzel is a mountain summit in the Taunus range in Hesse, rising to about 592 meters (1,942 feet). The peak is surrounded by thick forest and marked by rocky outcrops across its slopes.

The name Hohe Kanzel probably comes from a rock group on the summit that resembles a pulpit. A viewing tower once stood on the 591.8 m summit; below it, a clearing cut through the upper forest opens the view south-southeast over the Upper Rhine Plain toward Wiesbaden and Mainz. The wooded hill lies in the Engenhahn district of Niedernhausen, and the 2,765 m Niedernhausener Tunnel of the Cologne–Rhine/Main high-speed line runs through its east-northeast flank.

The name Hohe Kanzel probably comes from a group of rocks on the summit that resembles a raised pulpit or preaching platform. The hill lies in the Engenhahn district of Niedernhausen, and the Taunus main ridge and the Rhein-Taunus nature park surround it. The German Limes Cycle Route passes through Engenhahn north of the hill.

The summit is reached on foot; the A3 motorway runs over the lower east-northeast flank and the 2,765 m Niedernhausen tunnel of the Cologne–Rhine/Main high-speed line passes through it. The L3273 runs through Engenhahn north of the hill, and the German Limes Cycle Route passes Engenhahn. A clearing below the former tower site opens the view south-southeast toward the Rhine plain with Wiesbaden and Mainz.

The summit once carried a lookout tower; below it, a cleared strip running south-southeast opens a view over the Upper Rhine Plain as far as Wiesbaden and Mainz. The 2,765 m Niedernhausener Tunnel of the Cologne–Rhine/Main high-speed line passes through the hill's east-northeast flank.
