Nerother Kopf, Volcanic summit in Eifel mountains, Germany
Nerother Kopf rises 651.7 meters above sea level as a conical hill formed from an extinct volcano within the Volcanic Eifel Nature Park of Rhineland-Palatinate.
The ruins of Freudenkoppe castle, constructed between 1337 and 1340, remain at the summit of this former double volcano as a protected monument.
The Mühlstein Cave near the summit marks the location where the youth organization Nerother Wandervogel established its foundation on New Year's Eve 1919.
Multiple hiking paths, including the Eifelsteig trail, provide access to the summit, with coordinates 50.1936° N and 6.7599° E for precise navigation.
The southern section of Nerother Kopf contains deposits of minerals including Augite, Biotite, Hematite, Rhönite, and Volborthite, which are extracted through basalt mining operations.
