Hoppern-Kopf

Hoppern-Kopf is a mountain summit in the Rothaar Mountains reaching 805 meters in elevation. The peak stands between the towns of Bruchhausen and Willingen and shapes the rolling landscape of the surrounding area.

A former execution ground near the summit once served the Kurkölner Gogericht, a court that operated since the 13th century. This site reflects the region's deep connection to medieval judicial systems.

The mountain forms part of the Rheinisches Schiefergebirge geological formation, contributing to the distinct landscape of the Hochsauerland region.

The summit is accessible via several hiking trails, including the Rothaarsteig path that offers good access to the peak. The area suits hikers of different experience levels with well-marked routes throughout.

Multiple streams flow from the eastern slopes and converge into the Hoppecke river. These source areas create an important water system for the surrounding landscape.
