Salzburger Kopf

Salzburger Kopf is a forested summit in the Westerwald region that reaches approximately 654 meters in height. Dense woodland covers the slopes and peak, creating a tree-lined ascent from all sides.

The mountain was shaped by geological processes that formed the entire Westerwald range over millions of years. These natural forces created the distinctive elevation and landscape structure visible today.

Local communities organize seasonal hiking events at Salzburger Kopf, connecting residents with their natural surroundings through guided tours.

The summit is accessible via several marked hiking trails that begin from different starting points with parking available. The routes are clearly signposted and walkers of different fitness levels will find suitable options.

A natural spring near the peak flows throughout the year and sustains a small ecosystem on the mountainside. This feature creates a moist pocket amid the surrounding woodland environment.
