Elzer Berg

Elzer Berg is a mountain summit reaching 291 meters in elevation, positioned between Limburg-Weilburg and Westerwaldkreis districts in the Westerwald region. Hiking paths cross its slopes, and the peak forms part of the rolling landscape that characterizes this area.

The mountain became a key transportation hub when the Autobahn A3 was built through it in the 1970s, cutting a major route across its slopes. This construction transformed the landscape permanently and connected the region to national transport networks.

The summit serves as a natural landmark for people traveling through the Westerwald region, shaping how locals and visitors navigate the hilly terrain. Its position makes it a familiar reference point in daily conversations about routes and directions across the area.

Hikers will find multiple trails crossing and surrounding the mountain with varying difficulty levels to suit different fitness levels. A shelter hut nearby provides rest stops and helps orient visitors planning longer walks in the surrounding area.

A network of well-maintained trails links the summit with neighboring peaks, creating connected routes through the Westerwald landscape. These connections allow multi-hour hikes that reveal changing views and different aspects of the regional terrain.
