Korte-Klippe, Scenic viewpoint in Heisingen, Essen, Germany
The Korte-Klippe observation point stands 144 meters above sea level, offering views across Lake Baldeney and the surrounding Ruhr region forest landscape.
The site bears the name of Rudolf Korte, Essen's horticultural director from 1878 to 1950, with a memorial stone marking his contributions to the area.
Local residents gather at the viewpoint for outdoor activities along the 25-kilometer circular trail that connects multiple observation spots around the Ruhr reservoir.
Visitors can reach the viewpoint by following the marked S hiking trail, with parking available near Jagdhaus Schellenberg restaurant or using the Schöne Aussicht bus stop.
Former sandstone quarries beneath the viewpoint have been transformed into geological hiking paths, revealing the industrial heritage of the Ruhr region.
