Götzer-Berg, Hill summit in Brandenburg, Germany
Götzer-Berg is a hill in the Potsdam-Mittelmark region that rises noticeably from the flat surrounding landscape. An observation tower on the summit provides views across the area, making it a focal point for visitors exploring the region.
The hill formed during the last ice age through deposits left between advancing glacier lobes. An observation tower was built in the early 21st century, replacing an older surveying structure that once stood at this location.
The observation tower, built in 2012, stands 42.15 meters tall and incorporates design elements that reference the historical surveying tower at this location.
Marked hiking trails lead from the nearby town of Götz to the hill and observation tower. The climb is straightforward and takes only a short time to complete.
The northern slope contains a protected forest of mixed broadleaved trees growing on waterlogged ground, sheltering rare bird species and amphibians. This natural area adds ecological value beyond the hill's recreational appeal.
