Harkortberg, Mountain summit in Alt-Wetter, Germany.
The Harkortberg rises 232 meters above sea level in North Rhine-Westphalia, featuring sandstone formations from the Upper Carboniferous period and deciduous forest regions.
The mountain, formerly known as Wetterberg, received its current name in honor of Friedrich Harkort, a 19th-century industrial pioneer from the region.
The Harkortturm, constructed in 1884 with Gothic pointed arches, stands 35 meters tall and serves as an observation tower for the local community.
Visitors need to climb 130 steps to reach the viewing platform of the Harkortturm, which provides views extending to the Sauerland region and Harkortsee.
The mountain contains traces of former quarries where coal and Ruhrsandstein were extracted, particularly visible along the southern and southeastern slopes.
