Meesenkopf

The Meesenkopf, also called the Mesenkopf, is a hill in the Wiehen range, south of the town of Lübbecke in Northern Germany. Whilst not particularly prominent, the hill is historically significant as the site of a medieval castle.

With a height of 225.8 m above sea level , the Meesenkopf is topographically unspectacular for this part of the Wiehen Hills. There are much higher summits in its immediate vicinity, such as the 320-metre-high Heidbrink, just under one kilometre away to the south, and the 276-metre-high and better-known Reineberg, Lübbecke's local hill, which is 300 metres to the east, west of the Ronceva valley.
Today the Meseberg has no particular importance for hikers, and on most maps it is not even shown. The hill can be climbed on forest tracks in around 30 minutes, although there is no established way to the summit itself, only a path that a few hikers over the years have beaten, which aids those making for the top.
