Hohe Bracht, Mountain summit in Kreis Olpe, Germany.

Hohe Bracht is a mountain summit in Kreis Olpe at nearly 588 meters elevation, topped by a 36-meter observation tower with slate cladding. The tower offers panoramic views across the surrounding landscape and valleys of the Sauerland region.

The observation tower was built and opened in autumn 1930, becoming a lasting symbol of the Olpe district. Over the decades, it has been maintained and renovated while remaining a key landmark.

The restaurant at the summit serves local Westphalian dishes and offers visitors a place to rest and socialize after their climb. It has become a traditional gathering spot for people exploring the region.

The summit is accessible via Kreisstraße 20 with free parking near the tower entrance. The site is well-developed for visitors of varying mobility levels to reach the top.

An accessible experience trail of about 900 meters loops around the summit, connecting different viewpoints. The path includes rest areas and climbing features for children to explore.
