Maulkuppe, Mountain summit in the Rhön, Hesse, Germany

Maulkuppe is a 706.3 m high mountain in the Rhön in Hesse, Germany. Its summit area is wooded and offers no view, but it can be circled in 15 minutes, with views in all directions, including to the Milseburg to the northeast and the Wasserkuppe to the south. Just south of the summit stands the Fuldaer Haus, a managed shelter of the Rhönklub built in 1926.

The mountain has long served as a landmark for travelers crossing through Hesse, and established hiking routes developed over generations. This connection between the mountain and local people has endured to the present day.

The Fuldaer Haus near the summit serves as a gathering spot where hikers meet and share their experiences. This reflects a long-standing tradition of people using this mountain as a destination for outdoor journeys.

The summit area is wooded and offers no view, but it can be circled on foot in about 15 minutes, with views in all directions from the edge, including to the Milseburg northeast and the Wasserkuppe south. The Fuldaer Haus stands just south of the summit at 670 m, with a youth guesthouse and youth campsite next to it. The Rhönklub's Milseburgweg and other trails open the area; the path east toward Grabenhöfchen is laid out as a sculpture trail.

The summit itself is wooded and offers no view, but it can be circled in about 15 minutes; from that loop the Milseburg is visible to the northeast and the Wasserkuppe to the south, and on clear days the view west reaches the Vogelsberg and the Taunus.
