Oberhohenberg, Mountain summit in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

The Oberhohenberg rises to 1009.6 meters, marking the second-highest peak in the Swabian Alps and the highest point in Zollernalbkreis district.

Between 1050 and 1100, the Counts of Hohenberg, a branch of the Hohenzollern family, constructed a castle on the mountain summit.

The mountain foundation contains archaeological remnants from Alemannic settlements, indicating early human presence in this part of Baden-Württemberg.

A steel observation platform stands at the summit, with information panels detailing the history of the former castle and surrounding landscape.

The mountain features a newly constructed suspension bridge across the former castle moat, connecting visitors to the reconstructed octagonal tower.
