The Stegskopf, at 654.4 m above sea level (NHN),[1] is the second highest mountain in the Westerwald range in Germany after the Fuchskaute.
It is an extinct volcano in the municipality of Emmerzhausen in the county of Altenkirchen in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
Just over 1 km east of the Stegskopf runs a section of the border with the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, in within which is the village of Lippe, part of Burbach, to the northeast.
On the Stegskopf, where there are several abandoned quartzite and basalt quarries, is thick pine forest.
To these units belonged several well known telecommunications engineers and physicists, for example, Alfred Fettweis, Wolf Häfele, Herbert Daniel and Walter Mayer.
