Alter Berg, Mountain summit in Wartburgkreis, Germany
The Alter Berg reaches an elevation of 493.9 meters and features dense beech mixed forests covering its entire surface to the peak.
The mountain contains remnants of ancient limestone formations from the Muschelkalk period, contributing to the geological history of the Thuringia region.
Two notable paths intersect at the summit: the traditional Rennstieg hiking trail and the Via Porta pilgrimage route, connecting local communities.
Visitors can access multiple protected areas around Alter Berg, including Naturpark Eichsfeld-Hainich-Werratal and the neighboring Nationalpark Hainich.
Archaeological findings of animal bones arranged on rocks near the summit have sparked scientific interest and local discussions about possible ritual sites.
