Kuckstein, Mountain summit in Beuel, Germany

The Kuckstein mountain reaches an elevation of 190 meters and forms part of the Pleiser Hügelland range in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Mining operations at Kuckstein and Rabenlay continued until 1930, leaving behind characteristic rock faces that mark the landscape today.

The Kuckstein quarry at Stingenberg gained archaeological importance in 1914 with the discovery of the Oberkassel double burial site.

Visitors can access multiple hiking trails around Kuckstein, with routes extending approximately 15 kilometers through varying elevation levels.

The boulder fields below Kuckstein support specialized ecosystems where endangered rock buntings nest and snakes like grass snakes establish their habitat.
