Ortenberg, Mountain summit in Black Forest, Germany

The Ortenberg summit stands at an elevation of 163 meters above sea level, offering views across the Kinzig valley and Upper Rhine Plain.

The mountain peak gained recognition in 1233 when the Ortenberg Castle was constructed near its location, serving as a strategic vantage point.

The mountain area contains hiking trails that local residents use for traditional Black Forest walking festivals throughout the year.

Visitors can reach the summit through marked paths starting from the town of Ortenberg, located 5 kilometers from the city of Offenburg.

The summit provides a geographical connection between the Black Forest foothills and the fertile agricultural lands of the Rhine Valley.
