Helpter Berge
The Helpt Hills () are the highest natural elevation in the northeast German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern reaching a maximum height of above Normalhöhennull, 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 (district), Mecklenburgische Seenplatte about (south)-east of Neubrandenburg, north of Woldegk and west of Strasburg (Uckermark), 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. See also * List of mountain and hill ranges in Germany ...

Trig Point
A triangulation station, also known as a trigonometrical point, and sometimes informally as a trig, is a fixed surveying station, used in geodetic surveying and other surveying projects in its vicinity. The station is usually set up by a mapping organisation with known coordinates and elevation published. Numerous stations are installed on summits for purposes of visibility and prominence. A graven metal plate on the top of a pillar may provide a mounting point for a theodolite or reflector, often using some form of kinematic coupling to ensure reproducible positioning. Use Trigonometrical stations form networks of triangulation. Positions of land boundaries, roads, railways, bridges and other infrastructure can be accurately located by the network, a task essential to the construction of modern infrastructure. Apart from the known stations set up by government, some temporary trigonometrical stations are set up near construction sites for monitoring the precision and progr ...
