Weiselberg, Mountain summit in Freisen, Germany

The Weiselberg reaches an elevation of 569.5 meters and contains natural formations of pentagonal basalt columns throughout its geological structure.

During the Permian Age, approximately 280 million years ago, the Weiselberg functioned as an active volcano, shaping the current landscape of the region.

The mountain holds ancient structures including carved sandstones from Roman times and carries local stories about hidden subterranean castles with treasures.

The mountain features multiple hiking trails leading to its summit, while its southern slope contains an extensive formation of basalt blocks called Stone Sea.

The interior of Weiselberg contains four buried tunnels from 15th-century agate mining activities and exhibits a specific black rock type named Weiselbergite.
