Peterberg

Peterberg is a summit in the northern Saarland region that rises approximately 584 meters above sea level. From the top, you can see across the surrounding valleys and forested areas that extend to the horizon.

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.

Marked hiking trails to Peterberg begin in the nearby town of Braunshausen and are clearly signed. Parking is available at the base for visitors arriving by car.

During winter months the summit transforms into a skiing destination with a 650-meter slope and artificial snow equipment. This allows visitors to ski on a mountain that is modest in height compared to the Alps.
