Bergeshöveder Berg, Mountain summit in Hörstel, Germany
Bergeshöveder Berg is a mountain summit rising 115 meters above sea level within the Teutoburg Forest, displaying sandstone formations and natural vegetation. The landscape is defined by its geological characteristics and vegetated slopes.
In 1929, Austrian pilot Robert Kronfeld launched his glider from this location to accomplish the first 100-kilometer distance flight in aviation. This achievement represented a significant milestone in gliding history.
The summit is part of the Riesenbecker Osning region and connects several neighboring peaks. Visitors experience this interconnection while walking along the ridge.
Several hiking trails cross the mountain with routes of varying difficulty. These connect to the broader Teutoburg Forest trail network, allowing visitors to plan different route options.
A 1991 memorial marks the exact spot where Kronfeld launched his record flight between a local inn and a canal bridge. This marker shows visitors the precise location of this aviation milestone.
