The Aschenberg is a 452.1 m high mountain in the Salzunger Werrabergland in the district of Bad Liebenstein .
The almost completely wooded Aschenberg consists of red sandstone ; its neighbor, the Burgberg, already comes from the Zechstein of the Liebenstein Zechstein belt . Between the two is the location of Bad Liebenstein with the Liebensteiner disturbance , the existence of which the Liebensteiner Heilquelle owes its origin. Whether the name "Aschenberg" is derived from the weathered sandstone or from the earlier occurrence of ash trees is a matter of dispute.
There is a hiking trail around the Aschenberg, the Panoramaweg, which offers various views of the city, the Rhön or the Thuringian Forest . The refuge of the men's choir "Sängerkranz" Bad Liebenstein eV is located on the cowshed, an open space near the summit. The Karl-Bücher monument is also located on the Aschenberg .
During a nameless winter storm through the high pressure area "Irenäus" on the night of 17./18. March 2018 saw a widespread wind break on the predominant spruce trees , so that large parts of the northeastern area (near the city) are now bare.
