Tütberg, Summit in Bergisch Gladbach, Germany.
Tütberg is a summit within the Königsforst nature reserve in North Rhine-Westphalia, reaching 212 meters above sea level. Multiple springs emerge from its slopes feeding different river systems, while a water reservoir is situated near its peak.
The Tütberg settlement was first documented in 1487 as part of the Bensberg tax district. The area underwent administrative changes during French rule from 1806 to 1813.
The northern slope hosts Brothers Street, which serves as part of the pilgrimage route known as the Way of St. James and is walked by pilgrims following this ancient path.
The summit is part of a nature reserve and accessible on foot for those wanting to explore the area. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and stick to marked paths, especially on the slopes.
The name Tütberg refers to the mountain's triangular shape, which resembles a paper bag when viewed from certain angles. This distinctive silhouette is recognizable across the landscape.
