Bilstein, Mountain summit in Schwalm-Eder-Kreis, Germany.
The Bilstein mountain rises to 460 meters within the Langenbergen range, featuring natural rock formations and panoramic views across the Hesse region.
The mountain's geological structure formed during the volcanic period between 16 to 18 million years ago, when magma emerged through existing rock fissures.
The mountain holds status as a German cultural heritage monument, representing significant geographical and geological features of the Schwalm-Eder-Kreis region.
Visitors access the summit through marked trails from Nentershausen, with parking facilities and rest areas available near the base of the mountain.
The basalt rock plates stand almost vertically, composed of basanite, a specific volcanic rock subgroup that creates distinct geological patterns.
