Hochsteinchen, Mountain summit in the Soonwald, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

Hochsteinchen is a 648-metre summit in the Soonwald, between Ellern and Seibersbach, three kilometres south of Rheinböllen. Its 18-metre metal observation tower, built in 1893/94, stands on the peak, which lies within Rheinböllen's municipal boundary. The tower's views are increasingly blocked by spruce trees growing near the summit, and the southern view is already completely overgrown.

The 18-metre metal observation tower was built in 1893/94 on the summit, which at 648 metres is the second-highest elevation in the Rhein-Hunsrück district after the Simmerkopf. It long served hikers on the Soonwaldsteig, but spruces growing near the top increasingly block the view, which is already completely overgrown towards the south.

The summit is reached by the Soonwaldsteig long-distance trail, which links the Hochsteinchen to the surrounding Soonwald. The name means "little high stone" in the local dialect. From the 18-metre tower, hikers look over the Hunsrück to the Middle Rhine valley and the Taunus, though spruces growing near the top increasingly block the view, especially to the south.

The summit lies between Ellern and Seibersbach in the Soonwald, three kilometres south of Rheinböllen, and is reached on foot via the Soonwaldsteig long-distance trail. The 18-metre metal tower dates from 1893/94; spruces growing near the top increasingly block the panorama and have already closed off the view to the south.

Since 2012, eleven wind turbines reaching approximately 200 meters tall have transformed the appearance of the mountain and its neighbors. These modern structures create a contrast at this historic site between the old observation tower and contemporary energy generation.
