Moschel mountain

Moschel Mountain rises to 275 meters in the North Palatine Uplands and displays varied landscapes with different rock formations across its terrain. The terrain slopes and dips with forests, open areas, and small valleys threaded throughout.

Mercury mining on this mountain and its slopes shaped industrial development in earlier centuries. This mining activity left marks on the landscape and influenced how settlements grew in the region.

The name Moschel comes from the landscape itself and has shaped regional identity for centuries. Today visitors walk along traditional routes that connect small villages and show how people have lived and worked in these hills.

Marked trails start from nearby towns and lead up the mountain, with parking available at entry points. Wear sturdy footwear and come prepared for changing weather conditions.

Seven different multi-day hiking routes intersect on this mountain and connect over 112 kilometers of hiking paths together. This junction point makes the area a central hub for hiking tours across the whole region.
