Wartberg, Mountain summit in Fichtelgebirge, Germany.

Wartberg is a mountain summit in the Fichtelgebirge range standing at 688 meters (2,257 feet) in the Wunsiedel district. The peak is surrounded by forest and provides open views across the surrounding hills and valleys from the top.

The mountain formed through geological processes during the uplift of the Fichtelgebirge range millions of years ago. It has served as a local landmark and navigational reference for centuries.

The two abandoned quarries on the mountain's slopes, the southern and northern Wartberg quarries, are now flooded with groundwater and serve as still pools. The southern quarry is a designated natural monument and geotope (no. 479A007), rated geoscientifically valuable by the Bavarian State Office for the Environment; the northern one (no. 479A008) is rated significant. Their walls expose the sharp contact between dark basalt dikes and light porphyritic granite.

Several hiking trails lead to the summit with parking available in nearby towns around Wunsiedel. The best time for walking is from spring through autumn when the paths are dry and easy to follow.

The two abandoned quarries on the Wartberg flanks are flooded and now serve as geotopes: the southern one (479A007) is rated geoscientifically valuable by the Bavarian Environment Agency, the northern one (479A008) as significant. In their walls the sharp contact between dark basalt veins and light porphyritic granite is visible.
