Weilberg, Mountain summit in Königswinter, Germany

The Weilberg rises to 242.1 meters above sea level, featuring basalt formations and a former quarry within the Siebengebirge mountain range.

The mountain's quarry operated until 1940, extracting basalt that was transported via the Heisterbacher Talbahn railway system through the region.

The Siebengebirge area, including Weilberg, received the European Diploma for Protected Areas in 1971, marking its importance for nature conservation.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, requiring sturdy footwear and caution near the quarry edges due to steep terrain.

The geological structure reveals a 30-million-year-old volcanic formation where magma intrusion transformed the original trachyte tuff composition.
