Mönchsberg, Mountain and quarry in Jena, Germany.
The Mönchsberg reaches an elevation of 399 meters, making it the third highest peak among thirty-three summits in the Jena region.
From 1886 to 1967, the limestone quarry supplied raw materials to the cement plant in Jena-Göschwitz through an aerial cable transport system.
Students from Freie Waldorfschule Jena created stone figures and labyrinths at the mountain base, incorporating educational elements into the natural landscape.
Visitors can access the summit through a two-kilometer trail from Alt-Winzerla or a three-kilometer path starting from the village of Oßmaritz.
The mountain features a 30-meter high quarry wall on its northern face and maintains a steppe environment with scattered trees on gravel surfaces.
