Fürstenberg, Hill summit in Xanten, Germany.

Located southeast of Xanten, Fürstenberg rises 75 meters above sea level and features a network of hiking trails through woodland areas.

The Roman Legionary camp Vetera was established on the southern slope of Fürstenberg in 13 BCE, marking early Roman military presence.

The former Fürstenberg Monastery grounds now contain the Kreuzkapelle, built in 1671, while Haus Fürstenberg stands at the old monastery courtyard.

Two cycling routes lead to the summit: one starting from Birten and another from Xanten, with an average gradient of 3.5 percent.

The 47-hectare nature reserve hosts green woodpeckers, nightingales, and several bat species among beech, oak, ash, and chestnut trees.
