Ruins of the former German military post at the summit

Don i tison (of Bafia: "City Mountain" ) is the southernmost summit of the west of the city Bafia running mountain chain in Cameroon. It is located near the town Gouife.

His name - meaning " inhabited mountain" - is probably due to the fact that this is a military post was established by March 1911 to September 1912 in the wake of Bafia expedition to the military subjugation of the surrounding population. From this time, have vestiges of buildings, in particular a perimeter of roughly hewn stone obtained.

From November 6 to December 15, 1914, the place was the ethnologist Günther Tessman as the basis for his research on the Bafia.

The ascent of the summit is a regular part of every two -yearly Mbam'art Festival.
