Maimont, Mountain border point in Bas-Rhin, France and Southwest Palatinate, Germany.
The Maimont mountain rises to 515 meters with two distinct summits, featuring sandstone formations and dense forest coverage throughout its slopes.
Archaeological excavations revealed a Celtic ring wall spanning four hectares, with settlements dating from the Bronze Age through the Hallstatt period.
The mountain holds the Friedenskreuz memorial on its secondary peak, marking the historical events of World War II and the 1940 Battle of Maimont.
Marked hiking paths connect the summit from Obersteinbach and Petersbächel, with parking facilities available near the Wasigenstein castle ruins.
The mountain's name, first documented as Meygelmont in 1463, stems from either Latin or Celtic roots indicating its physical characteristics.
