Umpfen-Berg, Mountain summit in Rhön, Germany
The Umpfen mountain rises to 701 meters above sea level in Thuringia, featuring a distinct peak within the Rhön mountain range landscape.
Celtic fortifications found on the western summit plateau of Umpfen mountain date back between 2,000 and 2,500 years, indicating early human settlement.
The mountain's basalt quarry operated from 1910 to 1978, transforming from manual extraction methods to mechanized operations that shaped local industrial development.
Visitors can access the mountain via a road from Kaltenlengsfeld, leading to the Rhönbrise lodge that provides accommodation and dining facilities.
The summit offers clear views extending to multiple mountain ranges including Gebaberg, Wasserkuppe, and Milseburg, reaching into the Thüringer Wald region.
