Wildenburger Kopf, Mountain summit in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

The mountain sits within the Hunsrück region, an area shaped by centuries of slate mining that left its mark on the local landscape. The geological layers beneath the soil reflect this mining heritage and the ways communities once worked the land.
Local communities organize seasonal hiking events around Wildenburger Kopf, connecting residents with traditional forestry practices and regional outdoor activities.
Several marked hiking trails start from different points and lead to the summit, with parking areas available near the forest entrance. The paths are well-marked throughout the year and suitable for hikers of different fitness levels.
