The name Calmont can be interpreted in different ways: -from the Latin calidus “warm” and mons “mountain”, thus: “warm mountain”, -from the Celtic kal “hard”, therefore: “rocky mountain” The Calmont rises down the Moselle between Bremm in the south-southwest and Ediger-Eller in the southeast, which lie on the left bank of the river. Its summit is located on the municipal boundary; the southern slope belongs to Bremm, while the northern and eastern parts belong to Ediger-Eller. To the north and east around the ridge flows the Ellerbach, which flows southeast of it into the Moselle. Its landscape leads to the north, through the Ellerbach valley, to the northwest and west as well as ascending to the west-southwest to the Schafstall in the Gevenich plateau natural area (270.02), which belongs to the Eastern Moselle Eifel sub-unit (270.0) in the main unit group Eastern Eifel (27) and in the main unit Moselle Eifel (270). The 380.6 m high Calmont summit is 293.1 m above the Moselle, where the lowest contour line shown on topographic maps is 87.5 m[1] high. On average, it is around 270 m higher than Bremm. There is a 378.4 m[1] high point around 215 m east-northeast of the summit. The Calmont vineyard mainly produces Riesling grapes, which are processed into a light, fruity and aromatic wine. Viticulture in the Calmont vineyard is not only a traditional craft, but also a symbol of the region.
