Oberhohenberg, Mountain summit in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

Oberhohenberg is a mountain summit in Baden-Württemberg that rises to approximately 1000 meters (3280 feet). It stands prominently above the surrounding Swabian Alb landscape and offers far-reaching views across the region.

A noble family established a castle on the summit around 1100 that shaped the peak for centuries afterward. The fortification eventually faded from prominence, yet archaeological remains tell its story to this day.

The mountain held significance for local people over many centuries and shows traces of early settlements in the region. The name reflects the noble family that ruled here and shaped life in the surrounding area.

The summit features a modern steel platform that provides a safe vantage point without obstructing views of the landscape. Information panels at the viewpoint explain the mountain's history and the geology of the surrounding region.

A modern suspension bridge now crosses what was once the castle's defensive moat and leads to a reconstructed tower at the site. This blend of the old story with new architecture creates an unusual experience few visitors expect to find.
