Hohns-Berg

Hohns-Berg is a forested summit in the Teutoburg Forest area that rises with distinctive sandstone rock formations and offers multiple marked hiking paths. The trails wind through mixed woodland and provide views across the surrounding landscape.

Fossil discoveries in the 19th century, particularly the Pinna iburgensis shell, drew geologists to study the mountain scientifically. These findings made the location a point of interest for early geological research in the region.

The sandstone quarries around the area reveal ancient extraction marks still visible today, telling of centuries of use by local craftspeople. Visitors can discover these historical traces in the landscape and understand the connection between the mountain and local craftsmanship.

The Hermannsweg trail runs south of the mountain and provides access via marked paths with varying difficulty levels. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and follow the trail markers, especially in wooded sections.

A memorial stone on the northern side marks the crash site of the airship LZ 7 from 1910. This event links the mountain area to an early chapter in aviation history.
