Idarkopf, Mountain summit in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany
Located between Moselle and Rhine river valleys, the Idarkopf mountain rises 745.7 meters above sea level in the Hunsrück region of Germany.
The original wooden observation tower from 1980 experienced a fire in 2018, leading to the construction of a new hybrid wood-steel structure in 2022.
The Idarkopf summit functions as a central geographical marker within the Idar Forest, connecting the municipalities of Morbach, Rhaunen, and Idar-Oberstein.
The observation tower stands 28.5 meters tall and contains multiple staircases leading to a viewing platform offering perspectives of Taunus, Donnersberg, and Westerwald.
The mountain features a transmission tower positioned 300 meters northeast of the peak at 738 meters elevation, supporting regional communications infrastructure.
