In the UN Year of Mountains (2002), Karmelenberg was Mountain of the Month in June in Germany. Mount Carmel was included in the candidacy for its resemblance to Mount Carmel in north-western Israel, for which it is named, for the Chapel of St. Mary on its summit, and for the 340-year-old avenue that leads up there, despite having the required specification in the tender Height of 500 meters not reached. A memorial stone commemorates the proclamation of “Mountain of the Month in Germany” on June 21, 2002.
Various information boards provide information about the volcanic past as well as about the chapel.
