Taunushauptkamm (Q2397023)

Summary from Deutsch / German Wikipedia (dewiki)

Der Taunushauptkamm ist die 75 Kilometer lange Kammlinie des Hohen Taunus, der den nach Süden steil abfallenden Vordertaunus im Süden von dem sich allmählich nach Norden abdachenden Bergland des Hintertaunus im Norden trennt. Im Südwesten grenzt der Hohe Taunus an den Rhein. Der Hauptkamm besteht im geologischen Kern aus harten Taunusquarzitadern.

Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The main ridge of the Taunus (‹See Tfd›German: Taunushauptkamm) is a 75-kilometre-long ridgeline in the High Taunus mountain in Germany, whose geological core consists of veins of hard Taunus quartzite. The ridge separates the steeply descending Anterior Taunus to the south from the more gradually descending upland of the Hintertaunus or Farther Taunus in the north. The watershed between the Upper Rhine and River Main to the south and the Middle Rhine tributaries of the Wisper and Lahn to the north, runs for long sections along the main ridge. Several of the rivers flowing southwards have broken through the rock of the Taunus ridge unit in several places so the watershed is diverted a few kilometres to the north.
