Veitskopf, Mountain summit in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
The Veitskopf rises 428 meters above sea level, featuring distinct volcanic formations and three separate lava flows that shaped its current structure.
The mountain formed during the Quaternary period as part of the East Eifel Volcanic Fields, creating substantial lava streams that spread across the Gleeser Tal valley.
The Lydia Tower at the summit functions as an observation point, providing views extending from Laacher See lake to the distant Siebengebirge mountains.
Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit from the village of Wassenach, with routes typically taking between one and two hours to complete.
Geological surveys have identified mineral deposits including augite, biotite, magnetite, nepheline, rhönite, and sanidine within the mountain's structure.
