Deutscher Olymp

The Deutscher Olymp is a 62-metre-high elevation[1] on the Wingst ridge within the boundary of the homonymous municipality in the district of Cuxhaven in the German state of Lower Saxony.

The hill known as the Deutscher Olymp ("German Mount Olympus") was given this name in 1852 by an innkeeper, thus renaming the 61-metre-high Fahlenberg.

From northeast to east the course of the Oste as far as Hemmoor can be seen, from southeast to south are the geest hills of the Westerberg and the Balksee lake.

From southwest to west is the expanse of the Hadeln Marsh; its villages are recognisable from their church towers with the aid of a map.

The tower was closed from autumn 2005 to February 2006, because the associated inn was up for sale, but did not find any buyers for a long time.
