Graner Berg

Graner Berg is a mountain summit in the Ostwaldecker Randsenken region of Hesse with a height of 315 meters. The rock formations are primarily limestone that formed approximately 240 million years ago.

The mountain takes its name from Kirchdorf Gran, a settlement established by Chattish-Saxon farmers between the 4th and 8th centuries. This period coincided with the Christianization of the local region.

The two towers near the summit, built between 1905 and 1909, serve as local landmarks where visitors and residents gather to enjoy views and rest. These structures have become natural meeting points for people exploring the surrounding region.

The summit is accessible via a steep road from Landesstraße 3214 or through numerous hiking trails in the area. The routes vary in length and difficulty, allowing visitors to choose a path suited to their fitness level.

The Drachenhöhle, a former quarry located roughly 300 meters south of the peak, once supplied stone for building the towers. After its quarrying days ended, it became a refuge and remains a noteworthy spot for those exploring the area.
