The Drehberg is a completely forested mountain in the area of the city of Waltershausen , district Winterstein in the district of Gotha .
The Drehberg has a height of 754.3 m above sea level. HN . belongs to the mountain range in the western part of the Thuringian Forest . Starting from the Brotteroder hut on the Rennsteig , a north-facing forest path runs over the Schierlingshalde ( 752.3 m above sea level ), which passes the Drehbergkuppe after about 700 m. This is located about two kilometers (as the crow flies) west of the summit of the Inselsberg and is overlooked by 160 m. The Drehberg belongs to the headwaters of the Emse . The western mountain flank ends in Schnäbigengrund , the eastern flank in Fuchshüttengrund . The spur-like Alte Keller ( 615.6 m above sea level ) protrudes into the Emsetal on the north slope . On its flanks, ravines occupy a medieval old road; it is still shown as a Brotter or footpath in hiking maps. The mountain is forested down to the valley.
The mountain meadows known as "Röder" in the region are located on slopes that are easy to reach and were created in the vicinity of clear cuts on the charcoal piles. The narrow forest clearings of the Black Meadow and the Trautmann Meadow have been preserved from this time . An extensive forest road network has only been accessible to the Drehberg since the 20th century. The Kammweg also leads to the stalking house, a hunting lodge built by the Winterstein forester Noth in 1850.
