Milseburg, Mountain and archaeological site in Rhön Mountains, Germany.
The 835-meter Milseburg mountain rises with steep slopes in the Hessian region, featuring a volcanic basalt formation and dense forest coverage.
The mountain site contains remnants of a Celtic oppidum dating from 1200 BC, with three gates and extensive fortification walls still visible today.
The summit houses the Gangolfskapelle, a 15th-century chapel, alongside a mountain cabin operated by the Rhönklub organization since the early 1900s.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, with the Milseburg-Trail offering a 22-kilometer route through varied terrain and elevation changes.
The headwaters of the Bieber creek flow around the western side of Milseburg, creating a natural boundary for the 26-hectare nature reserve.
