Sodenberg

Sodenberg stands as a basalt cone reaching 481 meters in height, offering extensive views across the Franconian Saale region of Bavaria.

The mountain represents the remnants of an extinct volcanic crater, forming a significant geological formation within the Lower Franconia landscape over millions of years.

Local narratives connect Sodenberg to the biblical story of Noah's Ark, influencing the naming of surrounding towns with animal references like Ochsenthal and Schweinfurt.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, with the nearest mountain shelter positioned 523 meters northwest of the peak for visitor convenience.

The mountain's elevation provides clear views extending from the High Rhön ranges to Kreuzberg, Hassberge, Steigerwald in the east, and Spessart in the southwest.
