The Quisberg is a 291.9 m high elevation and is located in the corridor of the Unterellen district in the municipality of Gerstungen in the Wartburg district in Thuringia . In terms of nature, the Quisberg is part of the south-western part of the Thuringian Forest .
An unpaved road leads north over the Quisberg as a connecting route to the neighboring towns of Göringen , Wartha and Neuenhof . This route is part of an old trade route from Frankfurt via Fulda, Werra crossing at Phillipsthal (formerly Kirchberg), Wünschensuhl, Unterellen (previously via Flensingen), Wartha / Neuenhof towards Eschwege, Kassel, northern Germany. In the vernacular the mountain is called Quesbig, which is derived from Queste and can be traced back to Slavic influence. 19th century cartographers who were ignorant of the dialect translated what they had heard into High German and took away its original meaning. Further examples from the Untereller Flur are hd.Böller -mundartlich Biller from ahd.bilu = something excellent; Marktberg - vernacular Mötbäg from Am-Ort-Berg (the local mountain).
