Baier, Mountain summit in Rhön region, Germany
Rising to 713.9 meters, Baier displays a conical shape with steep slopes and two concentric ring walls made from basalt blocks on its northern side.
The mountain contains nine burial mounds dating from the Bronze Age and pre-Roman Iron Age, situated 500 meters north of Bayershof in Dorniges Gehege.
A trigonometric signal placed on the peak in the early 1800s enabled surveying connections between major landmarks including Inselsberg and Wartburg Castle.
The established T4 hiking trail system connects multiple access points to Baier from nearby towns of Dermbach, Vacha, and Weilar through marked paths.
The Karl-August Tower stood at the mountain's peak from 1914 until its destruction by fire in 1988, marking a significant period in the summit's history.
