Wittenberg Mountain

Wittenberg Mountain, locally "the Wittenberg'',[6] is a mountain in Shandaken, Ulster County, New York. It is part of the Burroughs Range of the Catskill Mountains. Wittenberg is flanked to the southwest by Cornell Mountain and to the northeast by Terrace Mountain.

Key Information

Wittenberg Mountain is within the watershed of Esopus Creek, which drains into the Hudson River and New York Bay. The northwest and northeast slopes of the mountain drain into Woodland Creek, thence into Esopus Creek. The southeast side of Wittenberg drains into Wittenberg Brook, thence into Maltby Hollow Brook, Bush Kill, and Esopus Creek at Ashokan Reservoir.

Wittenberg Mountain is within the Slide Mountain Wilderness of New York's Catskill State Park. The Long Path, a 350-mile (560 km) long-distance hiking trail from New York City to Albany, is contiguous with the section of the Burroughs Range Trail crossing the summits of Slide, Cornell, and Wittenberg. Wittenberg Mountain is one of the 35 peaks in the Catskills greater than 3,500 feet in elevation and is a required ascent for membership in the Catskill Mountain 3500 Club.

Beyond it lies a mountainous region, with many peaks in fall color. A large body of water is visible just right of center, at the foot of some smaller mountains.
