Otzberg, Mountain summit in Odenwald, Germany.
The Otzberg summit rises 367 meters above sea level in the Odenwald forest region, providing views across the Hessian landscape to Frankfurt.
The first documented mention of Otzberg dates to 1231 when it appeared in Fulda Abbey records under the name castrum Othesberg.
The medieval castle atop Otzberg houses a museum that presents artifacts and exhibits detailing the evolution of regional military architecture.
Visitors can reach the summit through marked hiking trails that connect to nearby villages and offer access points for exploring the surrounding natural areas.
The castle features one of Hesse's deepest wells, measuring 50 meters deep, with an original 1788 treadwheel still present at the site.
