It's always fun and interesting to see concepts takeoff, take The Berg for example. Envisioned by Jakob Tigges, a Berlin-based [faux mountain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avber-house) proposal is now being taken seriously by the surrounding town.

Seen as a irresistible tourist attraction, the otherwise monotonous, level landscape will be home to [ski enthusiasts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/altihut) and other slope-filled fun activities. The Berg will not only add [more green space](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manresa-island), it will also claim the title â€œLargest Man-Made Mountain.â€
