Teufelsberg, Mountain summit in Palatinate Forest, Germany

The 597-meter-high Teufelsberg rises within the southern Palatinate Forest, presenting dense woodlands and natural rock formations along its slopes.

The summit features a stone weather cross on a pyramidal pedestal, carved by sculptor Johannes Minges and consecrated by Bishop Konrad von Busch in 1909.

The St. Anne's Chapel, situated at 423 meters on the eastern slopes, hosts regular pilgrimages during July and August from surrounding parishes.

Multiple marked hiking trails lead to the summit of Teufelsberg, while motor vehicle access remains restricted to preserve the natural environment.

The mountain includes a subpeak called Lambertskopf at 539 meters, offering extensive views across the Upper Rhine Plain throughout all seasons.

Unusual Berlin: lesser-known neighborhoods, historic sites, and unconventional locations

Berlin presents a different side away from the usual landmarks. This selection features lesser-known places where history blends with modern creativity. The former Tempelhof Airport transformed into a public park, Teufelsberg built on war debris with its old American listening station, or the Boros Collection housed in a Second World War bunker, reflect the city's turbulent past. The Spreepark, an abandoned amusement park from the GDR era, and the Monster Cabinet with its mechanical installations offer unusual experiences. These sites tell Berlin in a different way. From the Spy Museum detailing espionage during the Cold War to Badeschiff, a swimming pool built on the Spree, to the radio tower Funkturm with views of the German capital, each location has its unique character. Local markets, underground galleries, and stands like Curry 36, a Berlin institution since 1980, complete this exploration of a city with many faces, where each neighborhood retains its own features.
