The Hohle Berg is a 366.6 m high mountain on the northern outskirts of Bad Salzungen in the Wartburg district in Thuringia .

The Hohle Berg is located in the Salzunger Werrabergland between the moorland and the Werra valley . The mountain is partly part of the monastery and Witzelroda district .

The name of the mountain refers to the quarries operated on the east side of the mountain, which over the centuries have left numerous excavation pits and heaps. Already in the High Middle Ages, the landowner, Allendorf Monastery, created terraced fields on the steep slopes of the mountain. The northern mountainside is still used for agriculture today.

The former district waste dump "Am Hohleberg" was created back in the GDR period for household waste in the district town of Bad Salzungen and neighboring towns. After the fall of the Wall , the site was operated as a landfill facility according to modern standards for a few years. After the storage and recultivation, a photovoltaic system was built on the site , which will supply up to 630 households with energy in the final stage.
