The Bommelhauck is 685.7  m above sea level. NN high mountain in the Wartburg district . It is located in the Thuringian Forest above Steinbach .

The Bommelhauck has several secondary peaks : the Frauenberg (595 m), the Zugfinkskuppe (575.4 m), the Floßberg (618.2 m), the Schnepfenberg (677.4 m) and the White Stone (625.4 m). Mining has been practiced in this area since the Middle Ages.
