The Melibokus (also Melibocus, Malchen or Malschen) is at 517 metres (1696 feet), the highest hill in the Bergstraße region of southern Hesse, central Germany. It was also the name of a hill in Germania described by classical sources. But the two are probably not the same.
Melibokus overlooks the Rhine valley on the western fringe of the Odenwald region and is a local landmark, clearly visible for many miles. On the summit there is a small cafe, a public lookout tower and a US Army radio mast erected on the site of a previous stone tower, destroyed during World War II. The hill is accessible from Zwingenberg/Bergstrasse by foot. The "Nibelungensteig" hill trail leads you from the railway station in Zwingenberg towards the east.
There's a trail leading to the summit. Melibokus is one of the 1 peaks along the Rundwanderweg Bensheim Not-Gottes-Kapelle 6: Melibokus-Weg.
The nearest mountain hut is Forstmeister Kurz Hütte located 372m/1 219ft ENE of the summit.
