Stinkesberg, Summit in Ratingen, Germany.

The Stinkesberg reaches an elevation of 95 meters and features steep slopes on three sides within the Oberbusch forest area of North Rhine-Westphalia.

During the 17th century, the hill was known as Kigberg, and its current name derives from the word stones, referring to the quartzite formations at its peak.

The mountain holds several quartzite blocks up to 7.20 meters long, formed through chemical processes during the Miocene period and now protected as natural monuments.

Multiple hiking trails surround the hill, offering routes of varying difficulty levels through the protected landscape area of Ratinger Stadtwald Süd-West.

Two aircraft accidents occurred near Stinkesberg: a DC3 Dakota passenger plane in 1955 and a single-engine sports aircraft in 1992.
