Steinkopf

The Steinkopf mountain rises to 888 meters above sea level, featuring rocky outcrops and natural vegetation across its slopes.

The mountain has been a reference point for local communities since medieval times, marking boundaries between different territories in the Rhön region.

Local residents gather annually at the summit during summer solstice to participate in traditional mountain celebrations and nature observation.

Multiple marked hiking trails lead to the summit from different directions, with the eastern path offering the most gradual ascent for beginners.

The mountain's distinct stone formation at its peak resembles a human head when viewed from the northern approach, explaining its German name.
