Mount Agou, Mountain summit in Kloto, Togo.
Mount Agou rises 986 meters above sea level in southwestern Togo, forming part of the Atakora Mountains near the border with Ghana.
The mountain, previously named Baumann Peak during German colonial rule from 1880s to World War I, served as a strategic military location.
The Ewe people inhabit the region around Mount Agou, while Adangme refugees settled there in the late seventeenth century to escape slave traders.
Access to Mount Agou requires navigation through dirt roads connecting local villages, with guides available in nearby Kpalime for mountain expeditions.
The slopes of Mount Agou support coffee and cocoa plantations, while a former World War II hospital at its peak now functions as a communications center.

Togo extends from the coast of the Gulf of Guinea to forested plateaus inland. The country contains several national parks, including Fazao Malfakassa and Keran, where elephants, antelopes, and numerous bird species live. The waterfalls at Aklowa and Kpimé cascade over multiple tiers through tropical vegetation. The Koutammakou region in the northeast displays traditional clay architecture with characteristic Tatas, fortified dwellings of the Batammariba people. In Lomé, German and French colonial buildings reflect the history of the 19th and 20th centuries, while local markets like the Marché des Féticheurs present traditional practices and commerce. Mount Agou rises to 986 meters and provides views across surrounding valleys and plantations. The coastal area includes sandy beaches along the Atlantic and Lac Togo, a lagoon used for fishing and water activities. Temple ruins and shrines are distributed throughout the country, documenting the animist traditions of various ethnic groups.
