Ziegenhelle, Mountain summit in Rothaargebirge, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

The Ziegenhelle mountain rises to 816.1 meters above sea level, forming a star-shaped massif with ridges extending in multiple directions from the central peak.

In 1887, surveyors established the first trigonometric point at the summit, marking it with a boundary stone and measurement framework for geographical calculations.

The mountain features the Myths and Legends Trail, connecting local heritage sites through a network of paths that start in the town of Züschen.

Visitors can access the summit via forest roads and hiking paths, with the nearest parking area located at Snow World Züschen ski resort.

The 14.7-meter observation tower, constructed in 2011, provides views from a platform at 11.6 meters, funded partially through European Union grants.

GPS coordinates: 51.12582,8.52953
