It's worth driving past: The forest changes completely over 10m. When the sun shines and warm air blows through the trees, and the resinous pine scent comes into its own, you immediately feel like you're wandering through Southern Europe and will soon reach the Mediterranean. Top!

Idstein's old town is always worth a visit.

This forest, dubbed the northernmost pine forest in Europe (though I'm not an expert, I'd guess it's *Pinus pinea*), was probably a mistake. In the 19th century, the Kapellenberg hill was reforested, and these pines were planted on its barren, rocky southern slope. The city's 1878 accounts mention 11,500 young *Pinus* saplings – without specifying them further. Did *Pinus pinea* sound much more like a pine tree to the buyer than *Pinus sylvestris*? In any case, the Mediterranean plants seem to thrive here, attracting many a surprised glance from passersby.

The Meisterturm is a 30.8-meter[1] (approximately 37 meters including the antenna) high observation tower in Hofheim am Taunus. It is located at 292 meters above sea level[2] on the wooded Kapellenberg hill northwest of the town. Today, it only rises a few meters above the surrounding trees. However, it offers a complete panoramic view: to the south over the Rhine-Main region, and on a clear day as far as the Odenwald forest; to the north, the Taunus mountain range, including the Großer Feldberg.

The view of Walsdorf is always impressive. The half-timbered facades, in particular, are something quite special in this area.
