View over the Rhine Plain from Melibokus

Highlight • Viewpoint

In misty or foggy weather you can actually save the summit, but the rather dense forest around it is very mystical.

In clear weather, the view in the west to the Palatinate Forest and its highest mountain, the Donnersberg. Northwest you can see the Taunus, while to the north the skyscrapers of Frankfurt can be seen. The latter, however, much better from the castle Alsbach, as you have to see from Melibokus through some trees.

Hang-glider launch ramp on Melibokus

Highlight • Viewpoint

It is a launch pad for hang gliders (hang gliders). The launch site is not permitted for paragliders.

Melibokusturm Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Like the tower itself, the outside has a barely bearable 60's concrete chic, the "Hütt'n" doesn't look like much on the outside, but inside it is a really rustic gem with two super friendly innkeepers. Above all, the landlady's Brazilian specialties (be sure to try the homemade chocolates!) are definitely worth a stop! Next time I'll take pictures of the inside.

Odenwald view over the trees

Highlight • Viewpoint

Shortly before the Melibokus summit you can enjoy the view of the Odenwald again. You can see quite far into the distance due to massive tree digging.
