Nordhelle

At 662 m above sea level, Nordhelle is the highest mountain in the Märkischer Kreis. But you can go even higher:

From the top of the 18-metre-high Robert-Kolb-Turm, you can enjoy a magnificent view over the Ebbegebirge. Emperor Napoleon had a tower built on the Nordhelle almost 200 years ago, but it fell victim to autumn storms in 1904. Thanks to Robert Kolb, the SGV's main trail warden at the time, the new construction was inaugurated nine years later.

Next door, the SGV runs the "Herscheid Hut", where you can stop for refreshments after your descent. Or you can take a detour to the Ebbemoore, where you might even be lucky enough to spot a black stork.
