Stoffelskuppe, Mountain summit in Thuringia, Germany.
The Stoffelskuppe rises 620.1 meters above sea level, featuring prominent basalt rock formations that protect the underlying Buntsandstein layers from natural erosion processes.
The mountain has maintained its geological structure since ancient times when volcanic activity formed the distinctive basalt peaks throughout the Rhön mountain range.
Local tales mention a mythical woman living in an enchanted castle atop the mountain, with stories of shepherds encountering her near the rocky summit.
Visitors can access the summit through marked hiking trails starting from the parking area in Bernshausen, following route Rhönrundweg 2 past the Bernshäuser Kutte lake.
The western slope contains the Bernshäuser Kutte, a natural sinkhole lake that forms an integral part of the protected Flora-Fauna-Habitat conservation area.
