Brennender Berg, Natural monument in Saarbrücken, Germany
The Brennender Berg reaches an elevation of 357 meters within the Saarkohlenwald forest region between Saarbrücken and Sulzbach districts.
The underground coal seam fire started in 1668 and continues to burn today, marking over three centuries of constant geological activity.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's visit in 1770 led to detailed descriptions of the site in his literary work 'Dichtung und Wahrheit'.
The round trip hiking trail extends 5.25 kilometers through the nature reserve, featuring both natural terrain and paved sections for different walking preferences.
Visitors can detect warm air flowing from rock crevices and feel heat through their shoes, indicating the ongoing underground coal fire.
