The Steling is a mountain, 658.3 m above sea level (NN) on the High Fens plateau.[1] The German-Belgian border runs 60 meters from the mountaintop. The closest borderpoint near the summit is also the highest point in the municipal region of Aachen.
The Steling is located on the western edge of the High Fens-Eifel Nature Park. At its southern foot lies Mützenich, a quarter of Monschau. On its northern slopes is the source region of the River Weser, which flows through the Weser Dam near Eupen to Liège and into the Ourthe.
Climate
The High Fens to the south and west benefit from the Steling, because the summit causes moist Atlantic winds to release their rainfall on the mountain.
