The Jenzig is a distinctive Muschelkalk mountain in Jena, Germany. At 385.3 m above sea level, the Jenzig is one of the highest mountains in the Saale Valley area and is located northeast of the city center. Due to its distinctive shape ("Jenzignase", German for "Jenzig nose") it is considered to be one of the Seven Wonders of Jena. On the summit stands the Jenzighaus, a restaurant with excellent views over the city. The Jenzig forms the southwestern end of a semicircular ridge, the Hufeisen ("Horseshoe"). This wooded plateau runs from the Jenzig eastwards, forming an arc as it continues further north and then back westwards, where the Alte Gleisberg along with the Kunitzburg forms the other end. In the interior of this "horseshoe" is a small side valley of the Saale valley, containing the villages of Kunitz and Laasan.
