History
The mountain formed over 400 million years ago during the Devonian period when sedimentary rocks accumulated in ancient marine environments. This geological history continues to shape the appearance and composition of the landscape today.

The Peterberg serves as a gathering place for hikers from the surrounding region who visit regularly throughout the year. The open viewpoints naturally draw weekend visitors seeking to enjoy the landscape from above.
