About the Vogelburg:
The Vogelburg, located in the middle of the Hochtaunus Nature Park, is a bird park of a very special kind. Its creation and continuous development since 1981 are thanks to the initiative of a bird enthusiast who, due to family tradition, has been caring for parrots for decades. Over the years, this park has evolved into a sanctuary for parrots that were surrendered by private owners for various reasons.

From the Weil valley up to the 662-meter-high Pferdskopf, it is naturally a long ascent followed by a descent at the end. The incline extends accordingly but is thus considerably softened. A certain level of hiking fitness is required for the route. The largely well-developed path also ensures it is not a strenuous effort.
