Hochsteinchen, Mountain summit in Hunsrück region, Germany.
The Hochsteinchen peak reaches an elevation of 648 meters, making it the second-highest point in the Rhein-Hunsrück district of Rhineland-Palatinate.
The steel observation tower on Hochsteinchen, constructed between 1893 and 1894, stands 18 meters tall and includes two viewing platforms accessed by steel steps.
The mountain serves as a central point along the Soonwaldsteig hiking trail, connecting residents and visitors to the natural heritage of the Hunsrück region.
Visitors can climb 89 steps divided between two sections to reach the observation platforms, offering views across the Hunsrück and toward the Taunus mountains.
In 2012, eleven wind turbines reaching heights of 200 meters were installed on Hochsteinchen and neighboring Katzenkopf, transforming the mountain landscape.
