Stegskopf, Summit in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

The Stegskopf mountain rises to an elevation of 654.4 meters, making it the second highest peak in the Westerwald mountain range of Germany.

From 1914 until 2015, the northern area of Stegskopf served as a military training ground, first for radar units and later for the German Armed Forces.

The mountain area contains several abandoned quartzite and basalt quarries that reflect the industrial heritage of the Rhineland-Palatinate region.

Multiple hiking trails connect the summit to the nearby village of Emmerzhausen, providing access points for mountain exploration throughout different seasons.

The extinct volcanic structure of Stegskopf contains dense pine forests and borders the village that shares its name to the northwest.
