- ↑ a b Map services of the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation ( information )
- ↑ TK 25. The numbers for dominances and celebrities in the Taunus according to Highrisepages.de are somewhat imprecise here. The notch at the earth station is below 390 m , but above 387.5 m . Since the Hesselberg is not measured to the nearest decimeter (not even the 518 m height is recorded on the TK 25), it cannot be decided whether the Steinkopf ( 518 m ) is actually higher. Otherwise the dominance would be around 14.5 km up to correspondingly high points on the horse's head and long neck .
