Helpt Hills

The Helpt Hills (Helpter Berge) are the highest natural elevation in the northeast German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern reaching a maximum height of 179.2 m above sea level (NHN). 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 24 km (south)-east of Neubrandenburg, 3 km north of Woldegk and 25 km west of Strasburg.

About 580 m southwest of the highest point of the Helpt Hills is the Helpterberg Television Tower which is about 155 m high and not accessible to the public. Other transmission installations have been built not far to the north-northeast of the tower.
