Bollerberg, Mountain summit in Hallenberg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
Bollerberg is a mountain in the Rothaargebirge range that rises to approximately 758 meters, with dense forests covering its slopes. Several marked hiking trails cross the mountain and connect various routes through this ridge area.
A 15-metre wooden observation tower was built on the summit in 1936 and stood until 1945. The present Bollerbergturm, also 15 metres tall, was erected in 1976/1977; 84 steps lead to its top viewing platform. The summit clearing with the tower and a telecommunications mast lies in the Hesborner Wald forest.
