Bungsberg

Bungsberg, Summit and mountain in Schönwalde am Bungsberg, Germany

Description

Bungsberg is a mountain in Schönwalde am Bungsberg that rises 168 meters above sea level and stands as the highest point in Schleswig-Holstein. The surrounding area, known as Holstein Switzerland, features rolling terrain and wooded slopes.

History

The mountain formed during the Saale glaciation about 150,000 years ago as a terminal moraine left behind by glaciers. This geological structure continues to shape the region's landscape.

Culture

The name Bungsberg comes from an old term referring to a hill, and it has long served as a popular destination where people gather to walk and enjoy views across the countryside.

Practical

The summit can be reached by several hiking trails, with a cable car system providing quick access to the top for those who prefer not to walk. Year-round access is available, though spring and summer offer the most comfortable conditions for outdoor activities.

Did you know?

During winter months, the site operates as Germany's northernmost ski area with three runs and a drag lift when snow allows. This transforms the normally green hillside into an unexpected winter sports destination.
