The Willinger Mountain is 502.1 meters high mountain in Ilm-Kreis ( Thuringia ).

It is a southwestern shell limestone , already largely surrounded to the southwest by the red sandstone of the Paulinzella foothills - witness mountain of the Ilm-Saale-Platte on the extension of the southeast branch of the Reinsberge in the northeastern foreland of the Thuringian Forest and towers above its surroundings by about 100 meters. It is named after the village of Willingen at its foot. It is striking in the landscape due to its double top.

The Willinger Berg is mainly forested with beech trees , an 83.8 hectare nature reserve (partly even as a total reserve ) has been designated.

Willinger Berg lies on the watershed between Ilm and Unstrut . In its vicinity are Neuroda in the west, Traßdorf in the south, Griesheim in the east and Oberwillingen , Niederwillingen and Behringen in the north. The A 71 runs immediately to the west of the mountain, from which a good view of the Willinger Berg opens up.
