The Dollberg is 695 m above sea level. NN is the highest mountain in Saarland and belongs to one of the prominent mountain ranges in the high forest. These stretch as ridges running from southwest to northeast from the Saar to the Rhine. The ridges consist of quartzite, which in turn has its origin in sandstone. This was finally transformed into quartzite by pressure and high temperatures during the folding of the mountains in the Devonian. Due to its hardness, it is comparatively weather-resistant. As the surrounding, softer rock was eroded, the quartzite deposits were preserved as ridges. A beautiful hiking destination and, as the highest "mountain" in Saarland, of course also a highlight here in the region. https://www.naturpark.org/natur-und-kultur/natur/geologie/geopunkte-devon-permokarbon-nonnweiler-und-zuesch/dollberg

Traveling to all 16 peaks in the federal states, it is very interesting to see how differently the states deal with their highest peaks. Perhaps the term "natural" fits quite well here
