Kulm

Kulm is a mountain summit in Thuringia with an observation tower at its top that allows visitors to see across the surrounding landscape. Multiple hiking routes connect the peak to nearby towns and provide access from different directions.

A steel observation tower was built at the summit in 1884, marking an important moment when the location became more developed for visitors. This construction transformed how people accessed and experienced the mountain.

The Kulmberghaus is a meeting place where visitors and locals gather for regional events and celebrations. People use this space to connect and share experiences with others from the surrounding area.

The summit can be reached via multiple hiking paths that start from different nearby towns such as Remschütz, Rudolstadt, and Saalfeld. Parking is available at the trailheads, making it easy to access by car.

The area received nature reserve status in 1938 because it is home to rare plants and distinctive rock formations. These geological features set the mountain apart from other peaks in the region.
