Lemberg

Lemberg is a summit in the Swabian Alp that rises to 1015 meters above sea level and marks the highest point of this mountain range. A 30-meter observation tower with 152 steps leads to a platform from which views extend toward the Black Forest and beyond.

Archaeological finds from the 8th to 5th centuries BC suggest a Hallstatt settlement existed on the summit. Remaining walls and ditches on the peak bear witness to this early habitation.

The mountain's name has Celtic roots, where 'lem' refers to the Bära stream that originates at the base of the peak. This linguistic connection shows how closely the landscape was tied to ancient inhabitants.

The climb to the observation platform is short and straightforward, as the 152 steps can be covered quickly. Visibility is best on clear days, and the route remains accessible year-round.

The geological structure classifies this location as a Zeugenberg, a mountain form where erosion has removed surrounding layers while more resistant rock remained. This rare example of natural geomorphology makes the site geologically distinctive in the region.
