Großer Bärenberg, Mountain summit in Zierenberg, Germany

Großer Bärenberg is a hill in the Habichtswald Nature Park near Zierenberg, Hesse, reaching 600.7 m above sea level and forming the highest point of the Hinterhabichtswälder Kuppen. Its summit lies 16.5 km northwest of Kassel's city centre. A 54.78 m steel lattice tower, the Bärenbergturm, stands about 60 m southeast of the highest point, just below the 600 m contour line.

A 30-metre observation tower was built on the summit in the early 1970s; its square structure rusted and was later demolished. The current 54.78-metre Bärenbergturm, a steel lattice tower with a transmission facility, was completed in spring 1999 about 60 metres southeast of the highest point, slightly below the 600-metre contour.

Locals usually just call it the Bärenberg. The steel lattice tower finished in spring 1999 replaced a 30 m observation tower from the early 1970s, which had rusted and was demolished. Its wooden-floored viewing platform sits 29 m up the 54.78 m structure, just below the 600 m contour.
