Hohenkrähen, Volcanic mountain in Hegau, Germany.

The Hohenkrähen rises 644 meters above sea level, forming a distinct peak with phonolite rock formations from its previous volcanic structure.

The mountain contains ruins of a medieval fortress at its summit, which served as a strategic observation point during the Middle Ages.

The mountain name derives from Germanic roots and appears in regional records, reflecting the deep connection between landscape and local identity.

Hiking trails lead to the summit through old Tilia trees, allowing visitors to observe rare plant species including gray cinquefoil and yellow sage.

The geological composition reveals a preserved volcanic pipe from activity that occurred 7 to 8 million years ago in the Hegau volcanic field.
