Kalte Herberge, Mountain summit in Taunus range, Germany
Kalte Herberge reaches an elevation of 619.3 meters above sea level, making it the highest mountain point in the Rheingau region of Hesse.
Through centuries, this mountain location served as a reference point for merchants and travelers crossing the Taunus range between major trade routes.
The German name Kalte Herberge translates to Cold Shelter, reflecting its historical function as a refuge point during harsh weather conditions.
Mountain bikers can access three different trail loops from the summit, ranging from 13.8 kilometers for beginners to 53.1 kilometers for advanced riders.
Recent natural forest clearing has transformed the previously obscured summit into a viewing point across the Rheingau-Taunus landscape.
