New Survey Reveals Kalmit Peak Is One Meter Higher Than Previously Recorded

A modern measurement initiative found the highest point of the Kalmit in Rhineland-Palatinate to be 673.64 meters, correcting an outdated figure.

The Kalmit, the tallest mountain in the Palatinate Forest, was determined to be 1.04 meters higher than previously recorded, now officially measured at 673.64 meters.
The adjustment was made after a detailed survey led by weather researcher Christian Müller, revealing that past measurements had missed the highest natural point.
Modern satellite-based surveying technology was used to achieve greater accuracy compared to older, less precise methods.
The corrected height will be updated in official databases and maps, reflecting the new measurement for future reference.
This rare adjustment echoes similar recalibrations, such as the 2020 remeasurement of Mount Everest, which also revealed a height change.
