Hohe Warte

Hohe Warte is a mountain summit near Eberbach, traversed by walking paths that lead visitors across wooded slopes. The surrounding area displays typical Odenwald features with gentle ridges and mixed forest.

This summit formed during geological processes when Buntsandstein, the characteristic sandstone of the Odenwald, shaped the local landscape. This red sandstone ridge developed over millions of years and continues to define the region's appearance today.

The mountain area includes several marked hiking trails connecting to the Albrecht von Göler Hütte, where visitors can observe the tallest tree in Odenwald.

The area north of Eberbach can be explored on walking paths that take between four and six hours depending on the route. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and bring water, especially on warmer days.

The mountain exhibits a prominence of 110 meters and maintains a dominance radius of 4.8 kilometers until reaching the northern summit of Gickelsberg at 554 meters.
