Höcherberg, Mountain summit in Saarland, Germany.

The Höcherberg reaches an elevation of 518 meters and features multiple water sources that feed into streams across its forested northern slopes.

The Betzenbach stream near the mountain contains coal remnants, indicating past transportation routes from the former Consolidiertes Nordfeld mine operations.

The Delattinia Nature Research Society of Saarland conducts extensive studies of flora and fauna in the Höcherberg region and maintains scientific collections.

An 8.32-kilometer hiking trail connects the summit to Stollenmundloch cave and Freiberger Brunnen spring, requiring approximately two and a half hours to complete.

The mountain's northeastern side contains a rare wetland biotope called Nickelches Brück, where Sphagnum palustre moss retains thirty times its weight in water.
