Hoher Ochsenkopf, Mountain summit in Northern Black Forest, Germany
The Hoher Ochsenkopf rises to 1054.1 meters above sea level, forming a distinctive domed peak in the Baden-Württemberg region of the Black Forest.
The mountain received its protected status in 1970 when authorities designated 41.1 hectares of the summit as Bannwald to restore the forest ecosystem.
The name Hoher Ochsenkopf, meaning High Ox Head, reflects the mountain's historical function as grazing land for cattle in the Northern Black Forest.
Visitors can access the summit through multiple marked hiking trails, including routes from Hundseck ridge path and steep ascents from Herrenwies or Hundsbach-Aschenplatz.
The mountain features a geological formation called Teufelskamin, or Devil's Chimney, characterized by an open fault structure that resembles a natural cave.
