Klusenberg

Klusenberg is the highest peak within Dortmund's city limits, rising noticeably above the surrounding terrain. The summit provides views across the Ruhr region and the nearby hills of the Ardey range.

The mountain was shaped by sandstone quarrying, which altered the geological structure of the area over many generations. This extraction directly influenced the development of the Ardey hills and the regional landscape.

Local hiking communities maintain a network of marked trails around Klusenberg, including route S3, connecting residents with the natural heritage of their region.

Several marked hiking trails circle and ascend the mountain, suitable for half-day outings from various starting points. The terrain is well-accessible, with clear paths and rest areas along the routes.

Water flows down the slopes in small streams that eventually reach Hengsteysee Lake, where the Lenne and Ruhr rivers meet. These waterways create a natural connection between the mountain's elevation and the lakes below.
