Climb the 75.9 meter high Duivelsberg and you will be rewarded with a beautiful view of the wooded area and the meadows of the floodplains below the moraine. The Duivelsberg nature reserve of the same name is approximately 125 hectares in size and is covered with deciduous trees, including a large collection of sweet chestnuts. There are many stories about the history of De Duivelsberg. For example, in the 11th century it was the strategic location of a motte (wooden) castle called Mergelp. From the first motte on the edge of De Duivelsberg it was easy to keep an eye on the surroundings. In addition, the hill has a sacred meaning for many and is still used for ceremonies. There are also stories that women who were accused of being witches, were drowned and bandaged in this place. This area originally belonged to Germany and was called Wylerberg or Teufelsberg, but was annexed after the Second World War. Unlike the other areas, the Duivelsberg was not returned, but it is still Dutch land property.

The Wylerberg or Teufelsberg (Duivelsberg in Dutch) is a hill near Nijmegen that originally belonged to the German municipality of Wyler/North Rhine-Westphalia. In 1949, the British military administration placed the mountain under Dutch contract administration on a Dutch initiative and in 1963 it finally became Dutch territory.

The entire area between Duivelsberg and Beek and Berg en Dal is beautiful and it's just a joy to walk here.

Beautiful route, but with some steep height differences.

THE ORIGINAL DEVIL MOUNTAIN After Christianization, this holy place was given the name Duivelsberg and much later this name was attributed to the larger of the two motte hills. Presumably the original Duivelsberg or Zonneberg is a hill located near the pancake restaurant the Witches' Dance in the forest of Berg en Dal. This hill is visibly artificially raised. Behind the hill, a flat, open area has been created. This clearing is easily accessible from the path and today there is a huge beech in the middle. It is a beautiful place whose power and holiness are still palpable. Various shamanic and pagan groups still use this ancient sacred site for their rituals and celebrations. Source: devilsberg.nl
