Dalherda Kuppe

Dalherda Kuppe rises to an elevation of 800.6 meters within the Rhön region, featuring steep slopes and natural formations along its northern side.

The mountain became part of a military training area in 1938 when the Wehrmacht established the Wildflecken training grounds, now used by NATO forces.

A distinctive phonolite column on the northern side of the mountain connects to regional folklore about a giant named Kuprian through local legends.

The summit remains closed to public access as it lies within the active Wildflecken military training grounds operated by the German Armed Forces.

A 3.40-meter-high summit cross, crafted by a local metalworker, was installed at the peak during a dedication ceremony on September 4, 2010.
