Feldberg, Mountain summit in Rhön highlands, Hesse, Germany

The Feldberg is an 815.2 m high mountain in the Rhön, about three kilometres northeast of Gersfeld in the county of Fulda, near the Bavarian border. It is a southwestern outpost of the ridge running from the Wasserkuppe to the Heidelstein. The young Fulda flows below its western slopes, and the Extratour Guckaisee trail of the Rhön Club passes just south of the summit. The terrain is used for forestry and pasture.

The Rhön region formed millions of years ago through volcanic activity that shaped the current landscape. The plateau became and remained open through centuries of grazing and traditional land use by local communities.

The name Feldberg combines Feld (field) and Berg (mountain), matching the open pasture and forestry land on its slopes. The Rhön Club's Extratour Guckaisee long-distance trail runs just south of the summit, and the Schneeberg castle ruin stands on the southern side at 684 m.

The summit is reached by marked hiking trails from various starting points in the surrounding region. Parking areas are available near trailheads, and the ascent is generally straightforward for visitors of most abilities.

On the southern slope at 684 m lie the ruins of Schneeberg Castle, below the summit. The Rhön Club's Extratour Guckaisee long-distance trail passes just south of the top, and the young Fulda river flows beneath the western flank.
