Weißer Stein, Mountain summit in Dossenheim, Germany
Weißer Stein is a mountain summit in the Odenwald region that rises to approximately 548 meters and dominates the landscape around Dossenheim. From the top, you can see across much of the surrounding area, including the Rhine Valley stretching into the distance.
The mountain became a destination for hiking clubs in the early 20th century, which led to the construction of a stone structure at the peak. This structure became a landmark for the growing hiking movement in the region.
The summit serves as a gathering place for local hikers who use the mountain regularly as part of their outdoor activities. People from nearby communities come here to spend time together while exploring the forested slopes.
The mountain is accessible via several marked hiking trails that vary in length and difficulty. Refreshments are available at the summit, making it convenient for visitors to rest and refuel during their visit.
A restaurant at the summit offers not just food and drink, but also a place to rest and enjoy the view. This turns the visit into a social experience rather than just a physical challenge.
