Brelinger Berg, Moraine summit in Wedemark, Germany
Brelinger Berg is a moraine summit in Wedemark rising 92 meters above sea level with mixed woods and open areas across its slopes. The site includes a network of hiking trails, natural stone formations, and educational installations spread throughout the protected landscape.
The summit formed during the Saale Ice Age roughly 230,000 years ago when glaciers transported rocks and sediments from Scandinavia and left them behind. A notable surveyor visited the peak in 1828 to conduct measurements, and a memorial stone commemorates this event at the highest point.
The summit takes its name from the nearby village of Brelingen and serves today as a quiet destination for walks in the open countryside. Visitors can trace how glacial action shaped the land into its present form while moving through the area.
The area features multiple walking paths that begin from several starting points including two cemeteries and a village market street, giving visitors flexibility in planning a route. The trails are straightforward to navigate and work well for a half-day or full-day outing.
Artist-designed stations along the path use sculptures and installations to show how ice age processes carved the land into its present shape. These creative elements make it easier for visitors to understand the powerful geological forces that worked here thousands of years ago.
