Dolmar, Volcanic summit in Kühndorf, Germany

The Dolmar reaches an elevation of 739 meters and stands as a solitary peak between the Rhön Mountains and Thuringian Forest in central Germany.

Archaeological excavations on the Dolmar revealed Bronze Age burial grounds and Celtic ring fortifications, marking it as a significant historical site in eastern Germany.

The mountain holds importance in German industrial history as the location where Emil Lerp tested the first gasoline-powered chainsaw in 1927.

Visitors can access multiple marked trails leading to the summit, with the Charlottenhaus restaurant offering traditional German meals near the peak.

The Soviet military used the mountain as a restricted training ground until 1991, limiting public access throughout the Cold War period.
