Helpt Hills


The Helpt Hills are the highest natural elevation in the northeast German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern reaching a maximum height of above sea level. The hills are a terminal moraine formed during the Pomeranian stadium of the Weichselian glaciation and were named after the village of Helpt on their northern slopes.
The ridge, which is part of a relatively short hill chain running from southwest to northeast, is located in the east of the aforementioned German state in the district of Mecklenburgische Seenplatte about -east of Neubrandenburg, north of Woldegk and west of Strasburg.
About southwest of the highest point of the Helpt Hills is the Helpterberg Television Tower which is about high and not accessible to the public. Other transmission installations have been built not far to the north-northeast of the tower.
