The Große Loh (also called Große Lohe) is a striking historical site and a designed viewpoint on the Regionalparkroute Hohe Straße. It is located on the edge of a small woodland at the intersection of the municipal boundaries of Niederdorfelden, Maintal, and Frankfurt am Main. The term "Loh" is presumably derived from the Latin word lucus and refers to a historically communally used woodland that was previously used by several authorized persons for forestry. Today, the spot located at the edge of the forest primarily serves as a popular resting place for cyclists and hikers traveling on the old long-distance trade route. The centerpiece of the station is the artificially created sightline Große Lohe. A striking double row of parallel steles directs visitors' gaze purposefully into the landscape. Depending on the viewing direction, the panorama between the Main plain with the Staudinger power plant near Hanau and the slopes of the Taunus, including its quarries, is made spatially tangible. Together with the nearby Kleine Loh, which offers a direct view of the Frankfurt skyline, the Große Loh thus connects historical cultural landscape with modern recreational activities in the Rhine-Main region.
