Monte Troodelöh

Monte Troodelöh reaches 118.04 meters above sea level and represents the highest elevation point within the municipal boundaries of Cologne, located between Pionier-Hütten-Weg and Brück-Forsbacher Weg.

The peak remained undocumented until 1999, when city employees established its significance by installing a temporary summit cross, leading to an official measurement of the elevation in 2000.

A boulder with a bronze plaque marks the summit, replacing the original cross, while maintaining a traditional summit register for visitors to document their ascents.

The Wolfsweg trail provides direct access to the summit, connecting to multiple hiking routes through the Königsforst and offering connections to the Giesbach water treading station.

The name Monte Troodelöh derives from combining the surnames of three city employees - Troost, Dedden, and Löhmer - who documented the peak through an employee newspaper competition.
