Fröttmaninger Berg

Fröttmaninger Berg is a recreational hill in a Munich neighborhood that rises about 75 meters above the flat plain to the north. A wind turbine sits at its peak and forms a visible landmark across the surrounding landscape.

The site became Munich's main landfill starting in 1954, where waste materials accumulated for decades. Its later conversion into a recreational area marked a shift in how the city managed its spaces.

The hill serves as a gathering place for city residents seeking open space and outdoor activity close to home. Locals use it for walks and social moments with family and friends.

You can reach the site easily via the U6 subway line to Fröttmaning station, with parking available nearby. Weather and seasonal conditions vary, so wear appropriate footwear for walking the slopes.

During winter months, the northern slope transforms into a ski slope, bringing snow sports directly into the city limits. This seasonal change shows how the site reinvents itself throughout the year.
