Löwendorfer Berg, also known as Vorderer Löwendorfer Berg, is a 103-meter-high hill located in Trebbin, within the Teltow-Fläming district of Brandenburg, Germany. Formed approximately 20,000 years ago during the Weichsel glaciation, it is the highest point in the Nuthe-Nieplitz Nature Park. Historically, the hill was used for glider flights in the 1920s before the construction of the Schönhagen airfield. Post-World War II, a wooden ski jump was built on its eastern slope, hosting local competitions until the late 1960s. Although the ski jump no longer exists, the area is still used for sledding. The hill is accessible via a marked trail from Löwendorf and is part of the European long-distance path E10 and the 66 Lakes Regional Park Route. In 2011-2012, a 21.7-meter-high observation tower was constructed using larch wood and steel, funded by the European Social Fund. The tower offers panoramic views, although its top section is currently closed due to structural issues caused by fungal decay, with repairs estimated at 100,000 euros. Despite the closure, visitors can still ascend to the fifth level for a limited view over the surrounding landscape. The hill remains a popular destination for hiking and nature enthusiasts.
