Kahlheid, Mountain summit in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany
Kahlheid is a mountain in the Idarwald region, located between the districts of Birkenfeld and Bernkastel-Wittlich. The terrain features open meadows and forested sections that offer varying views depending on the season and your position on the slopes.
The mountain once served as a strategic observation post, offering views across multiple valleys and neighboring territories during military operations. This elevated position made it an important vantage point in the region.
The mountain holds significance in local folklore, with numerous tales from surrounding communities describing gatherings and traditional celebrations at its peak.
Several marked hiking trails lead to the summit throughout different seasons, with parking areas available at the base for visitors. The paths are generally well-marked and suitable for various fitness levels.
