Schneeberg, Hill summit in Aachen, Germany
The Schneeberg summit rises to 256.5 meters above sea level, featuring wooded slopes and limestone formations within the Venn Foreland geographical region.
The western fortifications, constructed in 1938-1939, extended along Schneeberg's length, protecting the steep southwestern slope with clear views over Dutch territory.
The Schneeberg Chapel, built by local farmer Wilhelm Maahsen and dedicated to the Virgin Mary in 1963, stands as a protected historical monument.
The area includes multiple hiking trails of varying difficulty levels, connecting the districts of Vaalserquartier and Orsbach through natural terrain.
The mountain's white shimmer originates from limestone fragments that surface during field plowing, creating a distinctive appearance in the landscape.
