Hornungskuppe, Summit in Heringen, Germany.

Located between Hesse and Thuringia, Hornungskuppe reaches an elevation of 439 meters and features dense woodland covering its slopes and peak.

The Knights of Hornsberg established a fortress near the summit during the Middle Ages, serving as vassals to the Fulda Monastery.

The summit marks the meeting point of two German states, reflecting the regional administrative divisions and territorial boundaries of modern Germany.

Multiple mountain biking trails of varying difficulty levels start near Monte Kali and wind through the forested slopes of Hornungskuppe.

The geological formation consists of Bunter Sandstone, with the industrial spoil tip of Monte Kali beginning directly on its western slopes.
