Olsberg, Mountain summit in Hochsauerland, Germany.

Olsberg is a 703.8 m high northern spur of the Heidkopf (715.3 m) in the Rothaargebirge, rising directly southeast of Olsberg's Gierskopp district. Its north summit carries a trigonometric point at 703.2 m; the south summit reaches 701 m. The WDR transmitter Olsberg, with its 58 m tower built in 1984, stands about 430 m south-southeast of the main summit.

The Olsberg is a 703.8 m northern spur of the Heidkopf in the Rothaargebirge, separating the Ruhr from the Gierskoppbach stream. In 2020 and 2021, severe drought damage and bark beetle risk forced partial clearing of the summit forests. About 430 m south-southeast of the summit stands the WDR transmitter Olsberg, whose 58 m tower was built in 1984 for radio and DAB broadcasts.

The name Olsberg is shared by the 703.8 m mountain and the town directly northwest of it, whose eastern district Gierskopp lies at its foot. The summit's north top carries a trigonometric point at 703.2 m, while the south top reaches 701 m. Since 1984 a 58 m transmission tower of the WDR station Olsberg has stood about 430 m south-southeast of the summit, broadcasting radio and DAB.

The summit lies directly southeast of Olsberg's Gierskopp district, with the WDR transmitter tower standing about 430 m south-southeast of the top, below the 701 m south knoll. The 58 m tower, built in 1984, broadcasts radio and DAB. Parts of the eastern slope fall within the 1.68 km² Hangwälder des Olsberges nature reserve, designated in 2001.

The WDR transmitter Olsberg stands about 430 metres south-southeast of the summit, just below the southern knoll. Its transmission tower, built in 1984, is 58 metres tall and broadcasts radio and DAB digital radio. A trigonometrical point is marked at 703.2 metres near the northern summit.
