At 927.9 m above sea level (NN)[1] the Dammersfeldkuppe in Bavaria is the second highest mountain after the Wasserkuppe (950.2 m above NN; Hessen) in the Rhön, a low mountain range straddling the states of Bavaria, Hesse and Thuringia in Germany.

The source of the Schmalnau is on the northern flank of the mountain; its waters flow through the Fulda into the Weser.

Because the Wildflecken Military Training Area extends over the Dammersfeldkuppe it is usually closed to the public.

However a tradition that was started by the US Forces and continued by the Bundeswehr after the Americans pulled out of Wildflecken in 1994, is the annual summer walk or Volksmarsch through the out-of-bounds area.

This provides an opportunity to walk across the otherwise inaccessible terrain and the summit of the mountain on specified paths.
