Melibokus, Mountain summit in Bergstraße region, Germany
Located in southern Hesse, Melibokus reaches an elevation of 517 meters, offering views of the Rhine valley and surrounding landscapes of Odenwald.
The original stone tower at the summit was destroyed during World War II and later replaced with a US Army radio mast structure.
The name Melibokus connects to ancient texts mentioning Melobokon oros, associated with the Cherusci and Chatti tribes of Germanic regions.
