Heckberg, Mountain peak in Much, Germany

The Heckberg reaches an elevation of 383.4 meters and features two distinct wooded summits separated by approximately 125 meters of distance.

During the 13th century, the Grube Silberkaule mining site on Heckberg operated, extracting lead and silver until operations ceased in 1892.

The medieval trade route Brüderstraße crossed over Heckberg, now transformed into the Elisabethpfad and Kurkölner Weg hiking trails.

The mountain offers multiple hiking paths totaling 11.5 kilometers, combining unpaved sections, asphalt roads, and natural terrain for varied experiences.

A former military radio transmission facility stands between the peaks of Heckberg, marking the landscape with its technological heritage.
