Heiligenberg, Mountain summit in Heidelberg, Germany
The Heiligenberg rises to 440 meters above sea level, featuring dense forest coverage and multiple walking paths across its slopes.
Archaeological findings reveal continuous human presence since 5500 BCE, including Celtic settlements and Roman religious structures on the mountain.
The mountain holds two medieval monastery ruins, St. Michael and St. Stephen, representing significant religious heritage from the Middle Ages.
