Jaberg, Hill summit in Hilden, Germany.

The Jaberg rises to an elevation of 109.6 meters above sea level, forming the highest point in the former Düsseldorf-Mettmann district of North Rhine-Westphalia.

The area surrounding Jaberg contains ancient hollow paths that originated from the historical Cologne Road Number 5, connecting Hilden to Haan and extending to Wuppertal.

Local folklore tells of witches from Bergisches Land who gathered at Jaberg's plateau during Walpurgis Night, with records of an execution by burning in the 18th century.

The 13.2-meter Jaberg Tower, constructed in 1931, requires visitors to obtain a key from the town hall for access to its observation platform.

Multiple hollow paths encircle Jaberg, created through centuries of erosion as travelers avoided the direct steep route over the summit.
