Gömnitzberg

Gömnitzberg is a summit in Schleswig-Holstein that rises approximately 94 meters above the surrounding terrain. A tower crowns the peak and offers views across Holstein Switzerland and Lübeck Bay to the north.

A tree originally stood on the summit and helped ships navigate across the sea. The tower was later built to replace this natural landmark and serve the same purpose more effectively.

The hill forms part of the Baltic Ridge system and displays the glacial heritage of this region through its natural formation. On clear days, visitors experience how inland and coastal landscapes connect from this elevated viewpoint.

The location is accessible by public transportation and lies within a region offering various walking routes and viewpoints. Visitors should come prepared for changing weather and bring appropriate clothing for the exposed position.

On clear days, visitors standing here can see two distinct landscape types at once: the rolling terrain inland and the flat coastal plain with water views stretching far. This dual perspective reveals how geographically diverse this corner of the region truly is.
