Galtgarben, Mountain summit near Pereславskoye, Russia
The Galtgarben mountain reaches 111 meters above sea level and stands as the highest point of the Sambian Peninsula in Kaliningrad Oblast.
The mountain served as a fortified Prussian settlement from the 12th to 14th centuries, featuring defensive walls up to 6 meters high and deep moats.
Ancient Prussians considered this mountain sacred, with legends telling of mighty oak trees at its peak and treasures buried with local rulers.
The mountain lies 20 kilometers from Kaliningrad, accessible through the highway leading to the Baltic Sea coast.
During the 1930s, the mountain featured a ski jump facility and the 20-meter-tall Bismarck Tower, which were destroyed during battles in 1945.
