Ellerhöhturm

The Ellerhöhturm is a wooden observation tower set within Frankfurt's Stadtwald, one of the largest urban forests in Europe. On clear days the viewing platform offers a sweep across the forested hills of the Taunus foothills, with Frankfurt's skyline visible in the distance. The tower is easily reached via a well-marked trail network and serves as a popular half-day destination for families and casual hikers looking for a short walk with a tangible reward at the end.
