Atzelberg

Atzelberg is a mountain near Kelkheim in Hesse with an elevation of about 507 meters (1,663 feet). It rises as a distinctive landform in the region and provides views across the landscape from the top.

A wooden observation tower was built on the summit in 1980, giving hikers a place to stop and rest. The structure was destroyed in 2008 and has not been rebuilt since.

The summit attracts hikers from the surrounding area who regularly explore its paths and know the terrain well. Visitors experience an active community of walkers who shape how the place is used.

Marked trails approach the summit from several directions, so visitors can choose which route suits them best. A small mountain hut located about 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) west of the peak offers a stopping point along the way.

A radio transmission tower sits at the summit and can be spotted from far away across the surrounding landscape. This distinctive structure makes the location immediately recognizable from many viewpoints in the area.
