Neunkircher Höhe, Mountain summit in Odenwald, Germany
Neunkircher Höhe rises to 605 meters above sea level, marking the highest elevation point in the Hessian section of the Odenwald mountain range.
The summit received its first observation tower in 1888, followed by a replacement structure in 1906 after the original was destroyed by strong winds.
The name translates to Nine Churches Height, reflecting the historical connection between religious structures and geographical landmarks in German nomenclature.
Multiple rivers, including the Modau, Gersprenz, and Lauter, originate from this elevation point, contributing to the regional water system.
The summit features a 34-meter observation tower that provides views across the Odenwald region and serves as a geographical reference point.
