Peterskopf

Peterskopf is a mountain summit in the forest region of Hesse with an elevation of 507 meters. From the top, the view extends across the densely forested Kellerwald area with its rolling terrain and tree-covered slopes.

The mountain was already known in medieval times as a landmark in the landscape and helped people navigate through the Kellerwald area. Its importance as a reference point in the region stretches back several centuries.

The mountain has long served as a gathering point where local people walk and spend time outdoors throughout the year. This hiking tradition remains an important part of how residents connect with their surrounding landscape.

The ascent follows well-marked hiking trails that begin from several starting points and suit different fitness levels. Parking areas at the mountain's base make it easy to reach and explore.

The summit offers an excellent vantage point for observing various bird species that nest in the Kellerwald forest canopy. Bird watchers can use binoculars to spot rare species that make their home in this heavily forested region.
