Kalbe, Mountain summit in Hesse, Germany
The Kalbe summit rises to 719.5 meters within the Hoher Meissner range, featuring notable outcrops of tertiary basalt formations near its peak.
Mining operations at Kalbe extracted lignite from 1949 to 1974, leading to the creation of a lake after the pit closure.
The mountain stands within the Naturpark Meißner-Kaufunger Wald, connecting visitors to the natural heritage of northern Hesse through marked hiking paths.
Multiple trails lead to the summit viewpoint, starting from Mother Hulda Pond, offering clear views across the Werra Valley region.
The mountain contains deposits of minerals including Aragonite, Calcite, and the Fayalite-Forsterite Series, attracting geology researchers and collectors.
