Bungsberg, Summit and mountain in Schönwalde am Bungsberg, Germany
The Bungsberg rises 168 meters above sea level, making it the highest elevation point in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein within Holstein Switzerland region.
The formation of Bungsberg occurred during the Saale glaciation period approximately 150,000 years ago as an ice-age terminal moraine structure.
The Elisabethturm observation tower, constructed in 1863, stands as a testament to the region's long tradition of providing panoramic views across Schleswig-Holstein.
Visitors can access the summit through multiple hiking trails, with a steel cable lift system capable of transporting 600 people per hour to the top.
The location functions as Germany's northernmost ski area, featuring three pistes and a drag lift for winter sports when snow conditions permit.

Schleswig-Holstein combines historic structures with varied natural landscapes between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The region encompasses castles such as Glücksburg and Plön, medieval monasteries including Cismar and Nütschau, and museums spanning from Viking times to maritime history. Visitors find the Hedeby Viking Museum, Gottorf Castle in Schleswig, and the historic Ratzeburg Cathedral. The natural areas extend from beaches at Pelzerhaken and Rosenfelder Strand to the Lauenburg Lakes Nature Park and moorland at Kaltenhofer Moor. The Geltinger Birk Nature Reserve and wildlife parks at Eekholt and Arche Warder display native flora and fauna. The Kiel Canal, lighthouses at Westerhever and Amrum, and the Multimar Wattforum in Tönning document the importance of the coastal region.
