Spitzemberg, Summit in La Petite-Fosse, France.
The Spitzemberg reaches 641 meters in elevation and features a distinctive spindle shape made of pink Triassic sandstone in the Vosges mountains.
The medieval castle, first recorded in 910, served as an administrative center before its destruction during the Thirty Years War in 1635.
The name Spitzemberg derives from Germanic language elements denoting a pointed mountain, indicating the linguistic influences in this border region.
A driveable path leads to the television relay station installed near the summit, providing easy access to the location.
The September 1914 battles transformed the summit into a strategic military position, permanently altering the castle ruins structure.
