Horst, Mountain summit in Spessart, Germany
The Horst mountain summit stands at 540 meters above sea level, featuring steep slopes and distinct geological formations within the Hesse region.
The geological term Horst, derived from German meaning mass or heap, was introduced in 1883 by Eduard Suess in his publication The Face of the Earth.
The mountain area serves as a destination for German outdoor activities, with multiple established paths connecting local communities through natural landscapes.
Visitors can reach the summit through marked hiking trails that connect various points across the Spessart region throughout different seasons of the year.
The mountain structure represents a raised fault block bounded by normal faults, making it a reference example for studying block mountain formations.
