At 63.3 m, the Mellenberg in the Volksdorf district of Hamburg is the highest natural elevation in the Wandsbek district and in the entire north of Hamburg.
It has a round shape that rises about twelve meters above the surrounding terrain and is a Weichselian glacial end moraine that arose in the fork between the Volksdorfer and Meiendorfer glacier tongues. It was designated as a geotope by the Geological State Office in Hamburg.

The mountain is located at the eastern end of the Volksdorfer Forest and is tree-covered. It can be reached via a number of hiking trails. In the 20th century, a lookout tower was built on the mountain, which no longer exists. In addition, in 1925 a terracotta memorial was erected on the Mellenberg, which named the 48 people's villages who fell in the First World War; however, it was destroyed in 1945.
Three streets are named after the mountain: 1903 the Mellenbergweg, 1950 the Mellenbergstieg and 1986 the Mellenbergkamp, all of which are in its immediate vicinity.

The summit stone was unfortunately destroyed at some point. There is not necessarily a nice view, because the area is completely surrounded by trees.

in winter there is a beautiful view from the summit; in summer you only see a lot of green.
