Angelburg

Angelburg is a mountain peak in the Gladenbach Uplands region of Hesse, rising to 609 meters above sea level. The elevated position offers broad views across the surrounding rolling terrain.

The mountain served during medieval times as a lookout point for monitoring trade routes along the Lahn and Dill valleys. This strategic role made it an important location in the regional network.

The mountain connects to German natural heritage through its position in Naturpark Lahn-Dill-Bergland, where regional traditions of outdoor recreation continue through generations.

Several hiking trails climb from the valley to the summit and allow different routes depending on starting point. A mountain hut located about an hour away offers shelter and a place to rest.

The summit is often visited by paragliders who find good thermal conditions here for their sport. The exposed elevation allows for long flights across the landscape.
