Hummelsberg

Hummelsberg is a mountain summit in the Sankt Katharinen area that rises within the natural landscape of the Westerwald range in Rhineland-Palatinate. The peak features an open area marked by a wooden cross that sits above the surrounding terrain and can be reached by hiking trails.

A wooden cross was installed on the summit in 1837 to mark a significant historical moment. The original structure has been replaced over time as local communities continued to maintain and rebuild it across the generations.

The summit cross serves as a landmark that draws hikers and locals to gather on the mountain, making it a meeting point in the region. People have long used this elevated spot as a destination on their walks through the area.

The summit is reachable by hiking trails that clearly wind through the Westerwald area and are well marked throughout the region. Sturdy footwear is recommended, especially after rain when the ground can become slippery.

On clear days, the summit offers views that stretch across the Linzer Hohe region toward the distant Eifel mountains in the distance. This panoramic perspective makes the spot a favorite destination for visitors who want to see far across the landscape.
