Scharfenstein, Mountain summit in Gudensberg, Germany.
The Scharfenstein rises 304 meters above sea level in the Schwalm-Eder district, forming a prominent basalt cone in northern Hesse.
The mountain formation occurred during the tertiary period when volcanic activity shaped the landscape of the Schwalm-Eder region through basalt extrusions.
Local residents of the Schwalm-Eder district incorporate the mountain into their regional identity, using its silhouette in various local symbols.
Visitors can reach the summit through marked hiking paths that start from the town of Gudensberg and connect to regional trail networks.
The mountain's basalt composition creates specific conditions for specialized plant species that grow exclusively on volcanic formations.
