Wzgórze Kawowe, Summit in Oliwa, Gdańsk, Poland
Kaffeeberg (Wzgórze Kawowe) is a moraine hill complex in Gdańsk, Pomeranian Voivodeship, at the edge of Trójmiejski Park Krajobrazowy. Pre-war sources give its highest point as about 115 m above sea level. It lies in the Oliwa district, bounded by Karwieńska and Spacerowa streets and the Dolina Leśnego Młyna valley.
The hill's official name in the Free City of Gdańsk was Kaffee Berg, used until 1945; the Polish form Wzgórze Kawowe replaced it after the war. Pre-war sources give the highest point as about 115 m above sea level. After 1945 gravel was extracted in the northern part of the hill.
The hill's name comes from the German Kaffeeberg, the official name used in the Free City of Gdańsk until 1945. It survives in Polish as Wzgórze Kawowe, and the wooded moraine hill lies by the Trójmiejski Park Krajobrazowy, at the edge of the Oliwa district.
The hill lies in Gdańsk's Oliwa district, on the edge of the Trójmiejski Park Krajobrazowy. It is bounded by Karwieńska Street to the south and west, Spacerowa Street to the east, and the Dolina Leśnego Młyna to the north. The main entrance of the Gdańsk Zoo is about 400 m west of the hill.
The hill's official German name, Kaffeeberg, was used in the Free City of Danzig until 1945. After the war, gravel was extracted in its northern section, so the present shape of that slope reflects post-1945 mining rather than natural moraine relief.
