Dammersfeldkuppe, Mountain summit in Bavaria, Germany
Dammersfeldkuppe is a 928 meter high mountain and the second highest peak in the Rhön mountain range with distinctive rocky formations. The summit is surrounded by forested slopes and crossed by a network of walking paths.
After World War II the area became a military training ground and access to the mountain became restricted. This change has shaped how the place is used and visited today.
Local people use the mountain for regular walks on set paths and maintain their connection to the landscape despite military restrictions. These traditions make the place an important gathering point for people from the surrounding area.
The mountain can be visited during organized events with marked trails leading through parts of the Wildflecken Military Training Area. Visitors should check with local authorities if they want to explore the area.
The mountain is a natural watershed where the Schmalnau river begins on its north side while the Kleine Sinn river flows from its southern slopes. This role as a water divider makes it important to the region's water systems.
