Melchenberg, Mountain summit in Reken, Germany
Located in the Westmünsterland region, Melchenberg rises to 133.8 meters above sea level and features dense forest coverage on its northern slopes.
The Reken-Melchenberg water treatment facility was established in 1968 with six wells integrated into the mountain's infrastructure for regional water supply.
The observation tower on Melchenberg opened to the public in 2002, enabling visitors to view landmarks across Münster and Gelsenkirchen from its 30-meter platform.
Visitors can access the summit via the B67 federal highway followed by the L600 regional road leading to Reken and local streets to Melchenberg peak.
The mountain hosts both a telecommunications tower with public viewing platform and a 70-meter concrete tower formerly used for military communications.
