Ruhn Hills, Terminal moraine summit in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany
The Ruhn Hills form a sickle-shaped ridge that extends across the border between Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, reaching an elevation of 176.8 meters.
The terminal moraine emerged during the Pomeranian stage of the Weichselian glaciation when glacial forces pushed and shaped the landscape into its current formation.
The summit features a brick observation tower built in 2001, replacing the original wooden structure from 1933, where local bands perform concerts during advent season.
Mixed forests cover the ridge, with numerous hiking trails leading to the main summit where visitors can access the observation deck for views of the surrounding countryside.
A survey point called the FF Rock, named after Frederick Francis II who commissioned the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg State Survey, stands next to the official summit marker.
