    Only a few meters in altitude, but from the two vantage points you get almost a 360° panoramic view.

      This is NOT A HALDE, but the top of a mountain formed from ice-age Ruhr gravel - so the more than 80 meter high Mechtenberg is one of the few naturally grown mountains in the Ruhr area (see topographical map). On the HÜGELSPITZE, the Bismarck Tower rises above the TREE TOPS and the Mechtenberg LANDSCAPE PROTECTION AREA in the border area of THE CITY TRIANGLE of Essen, Gelsenkirchen and Bochum - here you have a great view of the panoramas of the surrounding cities with the church towers of Kray, the Bonifacius colliery and the Zollverein site . Opposite you can see Schalke's Arena, the Rheinelbe heap with the Himmelstreppe and the Wattenscheider Lohrheide Stadium. The LSG is also a BIOTOP for many plants and animals. The only Bismarck tower has been here since 1900.
