Fuchskaute, Mountain summit in Westerwald region, Germany
The Fuchskaute mountain reaches an elevation of 657.3 meters, standing as the highest peak in the Westerwald region of Rhineland-Palatinate.
The volcanic origins of Fuchskaute shaped the geological landscape over millions of years, creating distinct basalt formations that define the region today.
The name Fuchskaute derives from German words meaning foxhole, reflecting the historical presence of fox dens throughout the mountain area.
Visitors can access the summit through multiple marked hiking trails that connect to the Rothaarsteig-Westerwaldvariante path, with parking available near the restaurant.
The Ketzerstein basalt formation near the summit creates magnetic disturbances that affect compass readings, making traditional navigation methods unreliable.
