View of Hachenburger Höhe, Kahlen-Berg, and Windhahn

Highlight • Viewpoint

A great view towards Hachenburger Höhe (430m), Kahlen-Berg (448m) and Windhahn (517m). Niederdreisbach lies below in the valley. The nice thing about this vantage point is the unobstructed view only into nature without high-voltage lines or other buildings :)
