Taennchel, Mountain summit in Haut-Rhin, France
The Taennchel rises to 992 meters above sea level and extends over 800 hectares between Ribeauvillé valley and val de Lièpvre in northeastern France.
A charter from Charlemagne in 774 documented the forests around Taennchel as part of the priory of Lièpvre during the High Middle Ages.
Three medieval castles linked to the Ribeaupierre nobles stand near the mountain: Haut-Ribeaupierre, Saint-Ulrich, and Girsberg, marking the regional heritage.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit from different starting points, with the most favorable climbing conditions occurring between late spring and early autumn.
The mountain features mysterious inscriptions and an ancient pagan wall of unknown origin, along with distinctively shaped rocks like the Pointed Rock.
