Elfbuchen, Mountain summit in Kassel, Germany
Elfbuchen is a mountain summit near Kassel that rises to about 535 meters above sea level and is covered in mixed forest. Hiking trails wind through the wooded slopes to reach the peak, where the terrain opens up to reveal views of the surrounding landscape.
The mountain served as an important landmark for travelers in medieval times and was used as a boundary marker between different territories in the Hesse region. This position gave it strategic value that persisted across several centuries.
The location serves as a gathering place where locals regularly walk and spend time outdoors among the trees. The wooded slopes are woven into the daily life of Kassel residents who visit the area throughout the year.
Several marked hiking routes connect this summit to Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe and provide access from various directions. Parking areas are located within short walking distance of the main trail entrances, making arrival straightforward.
