The ascent is definitely worthwhile in good weather. The view after climbing the tower is indescribable. In addition, a nice descent awaits mountain bikers, such as the continuation to the alarm pole.

Is worth a trip. :-)

June 5, 2025,Von Horressen zum Köppel (zweithöchste Erhebung der Montabaurer Höhe) dann zur Schutzhütte Markwald Boden

The Köppel is the second-highest peak in the Montabaurer Höhe. It's an ideal spot for a rest at the Koppelhütte.

There's a beautiful view from the Köppelturm.

I started at the Horressen forest playground.

The way up was the last part;
a hiking highway isn't for me,
so highways.
