The Kapellenberg is a 79.2 meter high elevation in the Glauer Mountains and thus part of the Nuthe-Nieplitz Nature Park in the Teltow-Fläming district in Brandenburg .
history
The elevation was formed around 18,000 years ago at the end of the Vistula Ice Age . Between the terminal moraine of the Fläming , the Baruther glacial valley to the south and the Berlin glacial valley to the north, rubble , marl and sand were deposited . This material was compressed again after a brief standstill of the glacier, resulting in a compression moraine.
Design
Robinia , but also some lilac and elderberry bushes grow in the immediate vicinity of the top of the Kapellenberg . Striking are stunted pines called pines , which were surrounded at an earlier time by a Bauernwald. The farmers used the pines as litter and pruned the trees, which in the 21st century present themselves in sometimes bizarre shapes. Around 150 years ago, there was a chapel on the summit , which gave the elevation its name. There are only a few bricks left of it in the 21st century .
The mountain can be reached from Blankensee via a seven-kilometer circular hiking trail marked with a red crossbar .
