Meerberg, Mountain summit in Linz am Rhein, Germany

Meerberg rises to 429 meters above sea level, featuring steep northern and western slopes that descend into the Kasbach valley near Kretzhaus.

The mountain contained a basalt quarry operated by Linz Basalt-Actien-Gesellschaft from the late 19th century until its closure in 2010.

The geological site holds importance for mineral researchers due to its diverse formations including nephelin basalt, apophyllite, calcite, and natrolite.

Hikers can access multiple trails around the mountain, with routes extending 6.39 kilometers and requiring approximately two hours to complete.

The mountain's elevation decreased by 18 meters following quarrying activities, altering its status as the highest peak in the Linzer Höhe region.

Location: Linz am Rhein
