The Nerother Kopf is the conical hill of an extinct volcano (a cinder cone) near Neroth in the Eifel mountains. It is 651.7 m above sea level (NHN) and situated in the county of Vulkaneifel in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
The Nerother Kopf rises in the Volcanic Eifel Nature Park on the eastern edge of the Gerolstein Land. Its north top, or kuppe, lies around 1 km east-southeast of Neroth, 2.5 km west-southwest of Neunkirchen, 3.5 km west of Pützborn and 2 km (all as the crow flies) north of Oberstadtfeld. About 450 metres from the north top is the lower south kuppe. To the west the stream of Kleine Kyll flows through Neroth.
On the north top of the originally prominent double volcano are the ruins of a castle, the Freudenkoppe - built 1337–1340 and now a protected monument - as well as the Mühlstein Cave. The entrance to the cave, which is near the summit, lies at a height of 643.2 m. The nature reserve of Nerother Kopf around the beech-covered north top is a popular walking and recreation area which is accessed by several paths, including the Eifelsteig, which runs over the summit. The south top, whose summit region is treeless, has been mined for many years for its basalt.
Quarries in the scoria cone of an ancient volcano. Agglutinates and lava flow (leucite-nephelinite).
Located on Nerother Kopf Mountain, 1 km east of Neroth and about 5 km west of Daun.
NOTE: Not to be confused with the Kahlenberg (Auf'm Kopp) locality, which is located south of Neroth.
