Quitschenberg, Mountain summit in Harz National Park, Germany
Quitschenberg rises to 881.5 meters with two distinct peaks separated by 650 meters in the Oberharz region of Lower Saxony.
The mountain's name originated from the presence of rowan trees, which were extensively harvested during the regional mining operations of past centuries.
The Goetheweg trail crossing Quitschenberg connects to the Brocken peak, following the path taken by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in 1777.
Multiple hiking trails intersect at Quitschenberg, including the Kaiserweg and Goetheweg, with a shelter available below the eastern peak for rest stops.
The western summit features notable rock formations including the Quitschenberg Cliffs and Luisenklippe, reaching heights of approximately 860 meters.
