Höchsten, Mountain summit in the Linzgau, Baden-Württemberg, Germany

Höchsten is a summit in the Linzgau region of Baden-Württemberg, reaching 842.6 metres above sea level. It lies on the border between the Bodenseekreis and Sigmaringen districts, with the villages of Glashütten and Rubacker on its ridge. A 171-metre transmitter mast stands on the summit, and a sculpture marks the Rhine-Danube watershed.

The Höchsten lies on the Rhine-Danube watershed, part of the European main divide, so streams running north reach the Black Sea and those running south reach the North Sea. Germany's first permanent hill-climb time-trial course for cyclists, the Stoppomat, stood at the Schönemühle car park near Urnau until 2021; the German hill-climbing championships were held here on 23 July 2011 and 21 July 2012, with a fastest time of 14:47 minutes.

Local hiking groups organize regular guided tours to the summit, teaching participants about regional plants and geological formations along the paths.

Multiple well-maintained trails lead to the summit from nearby parking areas, with clear markings throughout the routes. It is wise to bring weather-appropriate gear, as conditions on the mountain can change quickly.

The Höchsten lies on the Rhine-Danube watershed, part of Europe's main divide: streams running north reach the Black Sea via the Danube, while those heading south and west flow into Lake Constance and the Rhine, ending in the North Sea. A sculpture by blacksmith Peter Klink of Denkingen marks this watershed on the summit.
