The Danish Mountain is a 307.0 m high mountain on the border of the districts of Schmalkalden-Meiningen and Wartburgkreis in Thuringia .
The Danish Mountain is an agricultural mountain made of red sandstone and is located on the edge of the Werra Valley . The mountain marks a border point between Breitungen / Werra , Bad Liebenstein and Barchfeld . In the north, the mountain goes imperceptibly into the Stephansberg ( 299.6 m above sea level ), which belongs to Barchfeld . The periodically flowing Schmidtgraben separates the Danish Mountain from the neighboring Dönnersenberg to the west ( 280 m above sea level ), where several quarries were built in the Middle Ages.
On the east side of the Danish Mountain , the Grumbach flows towards the Werra . The Meimers district of Bad Liebenstein is also located on the eastern slope of the mountain. The newly traversed federal road 19 as a bypass for Barchfeld leads along the south-western slope of the mountain.
The name is related to the Barchfeld born Landgrave Friedrich Wilhelm Karl Ludwig von Hessen-Philippsthal-Barchfeld (1786-1834), he was married to a Danish princess and last served in the rank of major general in the Danish army .
