Altkönig Summit Cross

Highlight • Summit

The summit of the Altkönig is reserved only for "real" summiteers - nothing goes up here...

View of Großer Feldberg from Altkönig

Highlight • Viewpoint

Once you have made the climb through the scree, you are in a somehow mystical place.
Especially when the weather is bad and it is hazy, foggy and the surrounding area is covered in clouds.

View of the burned forest on Altkönig

Highlight • Viewpoint

A visual treat, especially now under snow... it has its charm... even if it is a permanent thing for nature that needs time to recover... but it is also an opportunity

September 15, 2024,Steinerne Tour- Weiße Mauer und Altkönig im Hochtaunus

What a great tour!!! The path to the White Wall is a lovely walk. At the top it is breathtakingly beautiful! The stone surface looks like a quarry and the stones shine white in the sun. It is really a worthwhile destination. The path to the Altkönig is very alpine, with cute, narrow root and stone paths. At the top …

July 3, 2022,Weiße Mauer – Altkönig Runde ab Großer Kurve

After a little over 4 years, I thought to myself on Sunday, I'm not going to look for a long tour for a long time, but run after my very first tour with Komoot - that was a little over 4 years ago. So to the Grosse Curve car park and then a lap over the White Wall up to …

Be sure to wear sturdy shoes as the ground is sometimes very rocky. You should have a certain level of sure-footedness.
Other than that, it was a wonderful route with 3 really impressive places and a view of the Feldberg.

The "descent" is currently a bit difficult. Due to breakage and forest fire, there is currently a lot lying around and the path is not easy to identify

Missed the actually planned parking lot, couldn't find a place to turn around, so continue to the next parking lot. From there I spontaneously walked through the misty forest to the Altkönig. Which was very good - I had it all to myself today 😊

Good surefootedness required. A number of trailheads are blocked by fallen trees. Especially the descent from the Altkönig leads through an area where many fallen trees from the last fire (2024) lie. The way is hardly recognizable. Aug 2023
