Kapuzinerberg

Kapuzinerberg is a natural elevation in Krefeld that rises approximately 77 meters above sea level, making it the second-highest point in the city. From this position, visitors can observe the varied vegetation and surrounding terrain clearly.

The elevation received its name from Capuchin monks who established themselves in this area during earlier centuries and created a spiritual presence. This monastic settlement left a permanent cultural and geographic mark that survives today in the mountain's name.

The summit is a regular gathering place for hikers and nature enthusiasts who use the trails and explore the surroundings together. The name comes from Capuchin monks who settled in the area centuries ago and left a lasting mark on the region.

Several marked hiking trails lead to the summit from different starting points, with informative signs along the way to help visitors learn about the local plants and animals. Good planning and appropriate footwear are recommended to safely navigate the paths.

From this vantage point, visitors can see how Krefeld has shifted from an industrial city to a place with increasingly natural areas. This view allows travelers to understand the city's development and its approach to green spaces in concrete terms.
