Hoher Mechtin

Hoher Mechtin rises 142 meters above sea level as part of the Drawehn region, featuring pine forests and mixed deciduous woodland across its slopes.

The summit formed during the Saale glaciation period, when glacial movements deposited materials including sand, loam, gravel, and large stone blocks.

The wooden observation tower, constructed in 2015, stands as a gathering point where visitors document their experiences in a dedicated hiking hut book.

Multiple hiking trails start from the Stranz parking lot, leading through forest paths to reach the tower with its 152 steps to the viewing platform.

The summit contains geological formations from the East Hanoverian gravel and end moraine, marking the highest elevation point in the Wendland region.
