Morsberg, Mountain summit in Hesse, Germany
Morsberg is a mountain summit in the Odenwald region of Hesse reaching about 517 meters in elevation. The peak consists of Buntsandstein rock formations that create distinctive natural features across the landscape.
Morsberg lies along the historical Huguenot and Waldensian Trail that runs through the Odenwald region. This hiking route connects sites with significance to the religious history of the area.
The name Morsberg derives from the Mossaubach stream, which rises on the mountain's southeast slope. That stream runs via the Marbach and Mümling 59.7 km to the Main, ten kilometres farther than the Mümling's own source water. The wooded summit lies in the Kirch-Beerfurth district of Reichelsheim, about 1.5 km from Kirch-Beerfurth and Ober-Kainsbach.
A mountain shelter called Fuchshütte sits about 1 kilometer east of the summit and provides hikers with rest facilities. The area features marked trails that give access to different parts of the mountain and surrounding Odenwald landscape.
The Morsberg's southeast slope is the source of the Mossaubach, whose water travels 59.7 km via the Marbach and Mümling to the Main — about 10 km farther than the Mümling's own spring water. The summit itself is densely wooded and offers no view.
