The Kyffhäuser (German pronunciation: [ˈkɪfˌhɔɪ̯zɐ], sometimes also referred to as Kyffhäusergebirge) is a hill range in Central Germany, southeast of the Harz mountains. It reaches its highest point at the Kulpenberg with an elevation of 473.4 m (1,553 ft). The range is the site of medieval Kyffhausen Castle (Reichsburg Kyffhausen) and the 19th century Kyffhäuser Monument; it has significance in German traditional mythology as the legendary resting place of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa.
