Mägdeberg

Mägdeberg is a volcanic mountain in Baden-Württemberg rising to 664 meters with distinct geological structures characteristic of the Hegau region. The slopes display clear evidence of volcanic formation through their rocky composition and varied terrain.

The mountain formed through volcanic activity in the distant geological past and shaped the Hegau landscape. Medieval fortifications were later built at the summit as part of the region's defensive network.

The mountain shapes the identity of the surrounding community as a recognizable landmark in their local landscape. People connect to the place through hiking and outdoor activities that tie them to the Hegau region.

The mountain is accessible from Mühlhausen via marked trails that provide direct access to the slopes. Local authorities in Mühlhausen-Ehingen can provide route details and current conditions before your visit.

The summit holds the remains of a castle that demonstrates how humans have used this elevated position for defense and control across centuries. This layering of natural formation and human construction creates a place where you can read both geological and political history.
