On the north slope is the village of Dalherda (Hessen), which belongs to Gersfeld , and Motten (Bavaria) is 4.3 km southwest of the summit . This is where the Thalaubach rises , which flows into the Döllbach ( called moat in the upper reaches ) that rises on the southwest flank . The Gichenbach flows past to the east as a tributary of the Schmalnau ( called Rommerser Wasser in the upper and middle reaches ).

Cupped man / man
On the north flank is a two to three meter high phonolite column. This looks like a person and is therefore called Kuppenmann or Kuppenmännchen . It is the symbol of Dalherda. According to legend, the rock formation is about the giant Kuprian, who petrified at this point out of grief and suffering because the knight of Ebersberg had stolen his beautiful daughter from him. The little Kuppenmännchen was probably destroyed by the troops practicing, because one day it was found in all individual blocks . Adolf Kreuzpaintner made sure that the parts were put back together and that the little Kuppenmännchen can still be seen as such today.
Wildflecken military training area
Part of the 70 km² Wildflecken military training area is located on the Dalherdakuppe ; therefore it is a restricted military area and not freely accessible. Set up by the German Wehrmacht in 1938 , the military training area was temporarily used by the US Army after the Second World War . He is currently jointly by the army and its NATO - Allies used.
Summit cross
A 3.40 meter high cross was erected on the summit on September 4, 2010 as part of a service with Pastor Gridmann from Dalherda. The blacksmith Helmut Möller from Motten originally made it for the Pilsterfelsen near Kothen . But after the construction there was rejected, Möller donated it to the Dalherda hilltop.
