Hohe Warte, Observation tower and mountain in Reutlingen, Germany.

Hohe Warte is an observation tower and mountain rising to about 820 meters near Reutlingen. From its location, views stretch across forested valleys and rolling hills that characterize the region.

A wooden viewing stand was erected on the summit in 1896 and replaced by a scaffold in 1905, which had decayed by 1911. During the inflation of 1922/23, club members built the present masonry tower, designed by Ulm architect Albert Unseld, and inaugurated it on 1 July 1923. It serves as a memorial to Swabian Alb Association members killed in the First World War; the memorial stone now also bears Second World War years.

The tower is a memorial to members of the Schwäbischer Albverein who fell in the First World War, and the stone at its foot now also bears the years of the Second World War. The association holds a commemorative ceremony there every year on the second Sunday in October.

The Hohe Warte lies about one kilometre from the Albtrauf, northeast of the Gestütshof St. Johann above the mouth of the Ermstal. A dense network of paths crosses the forest, including the Schwäbische Alb Nordrandweg (main trail 1 of the Schwäbische Albverein). The 23-metre tower is always open, and a fire pit stands at its foot.

The tower was designed by the Ulm architect Albert Unseld and inaugurated on 1 July 1923, built by club members during the inflation years of 1922/23. It serves as a memorial to Swabian Alb Association members killed in the First World War; a memorial stone at its base now also bears the years of the Second World War, and a commemoration is held there each year on the second Sunday in October.
