Hohenkarpfen

The Hohenkarpfen mountain rises 911.5 meters above sea level, forming a distinct geographical feature within the Swabian Jura mountain range of Baden-Württemberg.

The mountain served as a strategic vantage point throughout medieval times, with evidence suggesting settlements dating back to early Germanic populations in the region.

Local residents maintain traditional hiking celebrations at Hohenkarpfen, organizing seasonal gatherings that connect the community with their natural surroundings.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit, with the most accessible 6.36-kilometer path starting from Hotel Hofgut Hohenkarpfen featuring a moderate 100-meter elevation gain.

The geological formation of Hohenkarpfen as an outlier makes it stand apart from the main Swabian Jura range, creating an isolated peak visible from considerable distances.
