geography
location
The rock tail is located in the western Hintertaunus in the Rhine-Taunus nature park . Its summit rises 1.25 km east-northeast of the Heidenroder district of Egenroth , which is located in the Klausbach valley , and about 2.5 km southwest of the Heidenroder core town of Laufenselden, through which the Dörsbach flows . A part of the Kemeler Heide extends on the mountain . About 750 m (as the crow flies ) northeast of the summit is a Roman tower .
Natural allocation
The rocky tail belongs to the natural spatial main unit group Taunus (No. 30) and in the main unit Westlicher Hintertaunus (304) to the sub-unit Westlicher Aartaunus (304.1), with its landscape sloping to the southwest into the sub-unit Zorner plateau (304.5).
Heidenrod wind farm
On the wooded northwestern Kemeler Ridge, in the area between Graues Kopf (north) and Gesteinteheck (south), along the B 260, construction work began in February 2014 for the erection of 12 wind turbines (WEA) of the type GE2.5-120 from the manufacturer GE Wind Energy , with a maximum height of 199 m. Two of these wind turbines, one on the Grauer Kopf and the other about 500 m to the southwest, were built in the immediate vicinity of the Upper German-Raetian Limes .
As is usual with such wind energy projects in forest landscapes, larger forest areas were deforested for the 12 wind turbines with the use of wood harvesters and then cleared . Furthermore, the existing forest paths for the transport of the building materials and plant components were converted into construction roads , and the underground cables to the individual wind turbines were laid to the side of the construction roads .
In April 2013, a lawsuit brought by a municipal representative of the Heidenrod municipality to the Wiesbaden Administrative Court was intended to prevent the Heidenrod municipal council's decision to found Windenergiepark Heidenrod GmbH from being implemented. On May 8, 2013, the lawsuit was partially upheld and the municipality board was obliged to immediately, completely and truthfully answer a request from the plaintiff about the municipality's income from the operation of wind turbines.
Traffic and walking
The federal highway 260 (sometimes also known as Bäderstraße Taunus ) runs just under 350 m southwest past the summit of the Gesteinteheck, and according to various reports it reaches a height of 520 m or 530 m . This road crosses state road 3031 (Laufenselden - Zorn ) about 1.2 km south of the summit . District road 597 , which runs to Egenroth, branches off a few meters from the intersection . For example, starting at these roads you can hike the mountain on forest paths and paths.
