Backelsberg – Highest Point in Duisburg at Haus Hartenfels

Highlight • Summit

The Backelsberg, on whose summit Haus Hartenfels is located at a height of 82.52 m, is the highest natural elevation in Duisburg at 83.7 m. It is surrounded by dense beech forest, so there is no view possible.

Heiliger Brunnen (Holy Spring)

Highlight • Natural Monument

On the Finkenpfad there are remains of settlements from the younger Bronze Age and older Iron Age in the area of the “Heiliger Brunnen” spring.

The Holy Well is located directly at the intersection of Rundweg and Kammerweg. The heights of the Duisburg city forest consist in the uppermost layers of gravel and sand, which filter and store the rainwater. On the water-impermeable tertiary clays below, which run diagonally, the water flows off and emerges as a spring on the slopes, as here at the Holy Well. Mentioned for the first time in 1563 as the Marienquelle "hillgen Bornschen Berg", the water is minerally and medicinally worthless because it does not come from the depths. Around 1935, the source and the surrounding area, which was presumably a place of worship in prehistoric times, were put in quarry stone. The miraculous healing power of water, especially at the time of the plague, is just a legend.
