Höchsten, Mountain summit in Linzgau, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Höchsten is a mountain summit in the Linzgau region of Baden-Württemberg, standing at approximately 838 meters above sea level. The area features hiking routes that wind through dense forests and open meadows with changing views throughout the walk.
The summit served as a geographic reference point for local communities starting in medieval times. The marked hiking routes were developed gradually to make the location more accessible for visitors.
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.
On clear days the summit provides a view spanning three countries, with Germany, Switzerland, and Austria all visible from this vantage point. This rare sight makes a visit here a special geographic experience.
