Hageböllinger Kopf, Mountain summit in Ennepetal, Germany.
Hageböllinger Kopf is a 326-meter-high summit covered in dense forest and crossed by established hiking trails that run between Ennepetal and Gevelsberg. The terrain features natural slopes and woodland vegetation typical of the Bergisches Land region.
The mountain takes its name from the settlement of Hagebölling situated at its base, reflecting a long-standing link between local communities and this geographical feature. This naming tradition demonstrates how rural villages and natural landmarks became connected through centuries of local history.
Several hiking trails cross the summit and reveal how local residents have long used these heights for outdoor pursuits. These paths remain popular gathering routes that shape leisure activities for people in the surrounding area.
The summit sits between federal road B7 and the Elberfeld-Dortmund railway line, creating several entry points for walkers throughout the year. Sturdy footwear is recommended due to woodland terrain and natural conditions.
The Kirchwinkelbach valley separates Hageböllinger Kopf from the neighbouring Brahmskopf to the east, and both the Forsthaus im Kirchwinkel and the hamlet Im Kirchwinkel lie in this side valley. Jellinghausen is the only settlement on the summit itself.
