The Tüllinger Berg (lit. German: Tüllinger mountain) short form Tüllinger, also known as Tüllinger Hügel in Switzerland, is a partly forested mountain located at an elevation of 460.2 m above sea level. It is situated in the southwest of Baden-Württemberg, at the border triangle of Germany, France, and Switzerland. The mountain extends about two kilometers from east to west and about five kilometers from north to south, forming a natural border between the urban areas of Lörrach and Weil am Rhein. Notably, the Tüllinger Berg is characterized by the break-off edge of the high strand of the Rhine Valley and the meadow floodplain. The slope of the Tüllinger Berg, especially with its western mountain nose, defines the surrounding landscape. The border between Germany and Switzerland runs along the southeastern foothills of the mountain. The Tüllinger Berg is crisscrossed by numerous hiking trails, serving as a vantage point and a recreational area for the Markgräfler Hügelland region. Due to its soil diversity and mild climate, the slopes of the Tüllinger are utilized for cultivating various crops, including the renowned Markgräfler wine. Large portions of the mountain have been designated as protected areas, making it an essential habitat for a diverse range of flora and fauna.
