Graner Berg, Mountain summit in Hesse, Germany

Located in the Ostwaldecker Randsenken region, Graner Berg rises to an elevation of 315 meters with limestone formations dating back 240 million years.

The mountain takes its name from Kirchdorf Gran, a settlement established by Chattish-Saxon farmers between the 4th and 8th centuries during local Christianization.

Two towers constructed between 1905 and 1909 near the summit became local landmarks, later incorporating a dining facility and gathering space.

Visitors can reach the summit via a steep road from Landesstraße 3214 or explore numerous hiking paths, including the 52-kilometer Volkmarser trail.

The Drachenhöhle, a former quarry located 300 meters south of the peak, supplied stones for tower construction and later served as a refuge.
