Hohenstein, Mountain summit in Lower Saxony, Germany
The Hohenstein rises 340.5 meters above sea level, featuring a prominent limestone and sandstone face that dominates the northern German landscape.
Early settlers in the region named this elevation 'uff dem hohen Stein', meaning 'on the high rock', referencing its commanding position in Lower Saxony.
The mountain contains 72 documented climbing routes, making it a central location for the German northern climbing community throughout the seasons.
Between October 1st and March 15th, specific climbing routes remain closed to protect bat populations during their winter hibernation period.
The south-facing rock formation represents the highest natural climbing wall in Northern Germany, with routes graded according to the UIAA system.
