Großer Kalmberg, Mountain summit in Ilm-Saale-Platte, Thuringia, Germany
The Großer Kalmberg reaches an elevation of 547.5 meters with limestone formations and dense pine forests covering its northern and southern slopes.
During the German Democratic Republic period, the mountain hosted a military helicopter landing site operated by the National People's Army's anti-aircraft division 514.
The mountain forms a natural border between the administrative districts of Ilm-Kreis and Saalfeld-Rudolstadt, connecting different communities through shared landscapes.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit from the nearby town of Stadtilm, with clear markings and varied difficulty levels for different hiking experiences.
The southern slope features protected FFH areas containing limestone slopes, dry grasslands, rock formations, and small wetland biotopes supporting regional biodiversity.
