Hundsburg, Mountain summit in Schwalm-Eder-Kreis, Germany
The Hundsburg mountain rises to an elevation of 334 meters above sea level in the Kellerwald region of northern Hesse, Germany.
The Knights of Rosphe governed the Hundsburg castle from 1050 until Sophia Landgravine von Marburg led its complete destruction in 1249.
The mountain name evolved from Hun-Burg, meaning High Castle, reflecting the German linguistic heritage in the naming of geographical landmarks.
Multiple marked hiking paths lead to the summit through dense forests, with optimal visiting conditions occurring between May and October.
Only sparse foundation remains mark the location where the medieval castle once stood at the peak of this forested mountain.
