Hohe Warte, Mountain summit in Fichtel Mountains, Bavaria, Germany

The Hohe Warte is a mostly forested ridge on the southwestern edge of the Fichtel Mountains north of Bayreuth, made up of several hills. Its highest point is the Hirschberg at 493 m; the Hohe Wart at 463 m carries the Siegesturm, built after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71. The ridge lies about 60% in Bindlach and the rest in Bayreuth and Heinersreuth.

The Hohe Wart's Siegesturm was built after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71; its sandstone came from a quarry near the summit, where a playground now stands. Until 30 November 1973 the forest belonged to the unincorporated Staatsforst Sankt Georgen, when 360 hectares passed to Bayreuth, Bindlach, Cottenbach and Euben. The ridge is also called the "Gateway to the Bavarian Northern Forests".

The ridge is known as the "Gateway to the Bavarian Northern Forests", the old name for the Franconian Forest and Fichtel Mountains, because it was the first range of hills seen from the Red Main valley. The Bavarian Nortwald hiking trail begins at the Hirschberg, and the Siegesturm on the Hohe Wart is the main destination for walkers.

The Hohe Warte is reached from Bayreuth and Bindlach; the Siegesturm on the Hohe Wart is the main access point, while the eastern part is less developed. The Nortwaldweg hiking trail starts on the southern slope, and the Bavarian Nortwald trail begins at the Hirschberg. Almost the whole ridge is a protected landscape.

The ridge is called the "Gateway to the Bavarian Northern Forests", as it was the first range of hills seen from the Red Main valley. The Nortwald hiking trail starts on its southern slope, and a playground now occupies the former sandstone quarry near the summit that supplied the Siegesturm's building stone.
