The Kolmischer Berg is a 293.8 m high, wooded elevation and is located on the southwestern edge of the Böller in the Wartburg district in Thuringia .
The mountain is one of the border points of the medieval Gerstengau. On its flank runs one of the most important old roads through the Eisenacher Grund , which led over the Lutzberg to Unterellen , it used a ford not far from the deserted Steinau on the other side of the Werra and was escorted by Brandenburg, only five kilometers away .
During the GDR era, the Förtha – Gerstungen railway line was laid on the southern slope . After the fall of the Wall, the historical course of the Sallmannshausen Rennsteig was reconstructed as a regional hiking trail (label S ). At the Kolmischer Berg, Gerstunger Heimatfreunde created a popular lookout point with a refuge, a feeder path meets the Sallmannshäuser Rennsteig on the Lutzberg.
