In 2018, the Bavarian State Survey Office determined that Bavaria's lowest mountain is located in the Kahl district. This was publicized by Bavarian Television in the series "Home of Records." Anyone wishing to hike to or visit the Birkenkopf will indeed have a very difficult time... just finding it. The hill lies at exactly 120 meters above sea level, in the middle of a private forest belonging to Emmerichshofen. Assuming the average elevation of the municipality of Kahl is 110 meters above sea level, the "ascent" to the Birkenkopf is actually a mere 10 meters. (Excerpt from kahl-main.de) Currently (December 2025), there are no signposts to the summit. A summit cross was erected in 2023.
