Riesenbecker Berg, Mountain summit in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

Riesenbecker Berg rises 134 meters above sea level as part of the western Teutoburg Forest range north of Riesenbeck.

During World War II in April 1945, the mountain area became a battlefield, leading to the establishment of a German military cemetery containing 130 graves.

Between 1725 and 1761, four Stations of the Cross were installed along the mountain path, establishing a religious procession route for Good Friday.

The mountain features 256 steps leading to the 'Schöne Aussicht' viewing platform, located at 116 meters elevation, offering views toward Münster city.

A German woman named the viewpoint 'Schöne Aussicht' on her last day before emigrating, and this spot received monument protection status in October 1999.

Location: North Rhine-Westphalia
