    The Mechtenberg with the Bismarck Tower has grown significantly in recent years.
    Short trail starts on the west side. Attention very smooth when wet.

      Not a particularly high mountain with good visibility.

        At the summit of the Mechtenberg stands the almost 17-meter-high Bismarck column in Essen, which is reached by a rising tree avenue. It was built in 1900.
