View from Tütberg

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view from the Tütberg, which at 212 meters is the highest elevation in the Königsforst forest, offers a beautiful panoramic view over the Bergisches Land region on a clear day. The view towards Bensberg Castle and the surrounding hills is particularly impressive.

The Tütberg is with 212 m the highest elevation in the king forest. It is located on the southeastern edge of Bockenberg near Untereschbach. About 500 meters from Tütberg is the Villa Tütberg, a remnant of a former settlement area called Tütberg. This settlement name originally referred to a medieval court foundation. In the original register of 1827 the settlement "Am Tütberg" is counted to the municipality "Eschbach". In 1975 Tütberg counted two residential buildings with 11 inhabitants.

The elevation, with its peculiar name, is actually the highest point in the Cologne city area. Every Cologne resident should probably have climbed it once in their life. This is even possible without an oxygen device. The 118-meter-high "mountain" is located in Königsforst. The Cologne Alpine Club has erected an impressive summit stone up here. There is even a summit book. The name, by the way, is composed of the surnames of the three "discoverers".
