Hochberg, Mountain summit in Eichenberg, Austria

Hochberg is a mountain summit in the Allgäu Alps standing at 1069 meters, marked by rocky outcrops and steep terrain on its slopes. Marked trails from Eichenberg provide access to the peak, passing through varied Alpine landscape as you climb.

Hochberg, at 1069 m, is the highest point in the municipality of Eichenberg and the second-highest summit of the Pfänder Ridge after the Hirschberg (1095 m). It rises seven metres above the nearby Pfänder (1062 m), the better-known local mountain of Bregenz. The mountain lies in the Allgäu Alps in Vorarlberg, about 2.4 km from the Hirschberg.

The Hochberg lies on two marked routes starting from the Pfänder cable-car station: the 19-kilometre Three-Thousander mountain walk, about five hours, and the Käse-Wanderweg cheese trail, three to four and a half hours, which passes an open-air cheese-making display and a dairy that can be visited.

The ascent from Eichenberg takes roughly four hours under normal weather conditions along marked hiking routes. Proper footwear and weather awareness are important since mountain conditions can change quickly.

At 1069 m, Hochberg is the highest point in the municipality of Eichenberg and seven metres higher than the nearby Pfänder summit (1062 m), which is far better known as Bregenz's local mountain. It is also the second-highest peak of the Pfänder ridge after the Hirschberg (1095 m), 2.4 km away.
