Fellberg

The Fellberg is a mountain summit in Thuringia that rises to 842 meters elevation in the rolling terrain of central Germany. From the top, views spread across forests and fields that stretch to the horizon across the region.

The summit takes its name from ancient terms for field and mountain, reflecting the rural past of the region. The marked hiking trails are part of a long tradition of walking in Thuringia that extends back to the 1800s.

Local hiking clubs maintain several trails leading to the summit, preserving the German tradition of organized outdoor recreation and nature appreciation.

Several marked hiking trails lead from different starting points, with parking available at the base for visitors. The walk is possible year-round, though the warmer months offer the easiest conditions for the climb.

Special plant species adapted to the higher elevation grow at the summit, forming a rare ecosystem. These meadows differ noticeably from the forests below and attract visitors interested in local plant life.
