Großer Farmdenkopf, Mountain summit in Sonneberg, Germany

Großer Farmdenkopf is a mountain in the Thuringian Highland region standing at approximately 869 meters high. The massif is crossed by several hiking trails that run across its slopes.

The Großer Farmdenkopf is the highest point of the Wurzelberg massif, whose summit now carries the upper basin of the Goldisthal Pumped Storage Station at 877 m, built directly on the mountain. The massif lies entirely north of the Rennsteig, the historic ridge path of the Thuringian Forest. The mountain's prominence of 171 m is defined by the col at the Schwalbenhaupt, near the crossroads of the Masserberg–Neustadt and Gießübel–Oelze roads.

The summit is reached on foot; a 360-degree circuit around the upper basin of the Goldisthal pumped storage station links the viewpoints, and a complete loop requires several hundred metres along a very narrow ridge. From the top hikers pick out the Bleßberg with its transmission tower and the Rennsteigwarte on the Eselsberg.
