Kappelberg, Mountain summit in Baden-Württemberg, Germany

Kappelberg is a mountain summit in Baden-Württemberg rising to 469 meters, with hiking trails winding through forested slopes and open areas. The peak can be reached from multiple starting points depending on which path you choose.

The hill's name comes from a pilgrimage chapel that stood here until it was demolished in 1819. Traces of a prehistoric refuge fort secured by ramparts and ditches survive on the Kappelberg. The slopes have long been planted with vines, now worked mainly by members of the Fellbacher Weingärtner winegrowers' cooperative.

The name Kappelberg comes from a pilgrimage chapel demolished in 1819. The vineyards on the slopes are worked mainly by members of the Fellbacher Weingärtner winegrowers' cooperative, so the hillside is farmed land rather than wild ground.

Marked trails depart from parking areas at the base, making access straightforward from different directions. Wear proper footwear since path conditions vary with the seasons and some sections can be muddy or steep.

On the southern slope, between the wooded ridge and the vineyards, lies a 2-hectare nature reserve established on 22 June 1978: a band of steppe heath whose plant and animal richness is described as unique for the Stuttgart area. The hill's name comes from a pilgrimage chapel demolished in 1819.
