Katzenbuckel, Extinct volcano in Waldbrunn, Germany
Katzenbuckel rises to 626 meters in elevation, forming the highest peak of the Odenwald mountain range with its distinctive dome-shaped summit.
The volcano's rock formations provided income for Waldkatzenbach residents through quarrying and selling crushed stone for road construction during past centuries.
Local residents commemorate seven families who survived the Thirty Years' War by planting seven Linden trees near the village spring.
The mountain area contains marked trails for hiking, allowing visitors to explore geological formations and observe different microclimates at various elevations.
The name Katzenbuckel translates to Cat's Hump, reflecting the mountain's curved silhouette that resembles a feline's arched back.
