Hundsrücken, Mountain summit in Zollernalb, Germany.
The Hundsrücken reaches an elevation of 931.4 meters within the Schwäbische Alb range, offering views of Hohenzollern Castle and the Balinger Mountains.
In August 1972, heavy rainfall caused a significant landslide on the northern slope between Hundsrücken and Irrenberg, affecting an area of 700 meters.
The mountain features the ruins of Ror Castle, which belonged to the Walger family who served as vassals to the Counts of Hohenzollern.
Several marked hiking trails provide access to the summit from surrounding towns including Bisingen, Albstadt, and Balingen in the Zollernalbkreis region.
The Irrenberg-Hundsrücken nature reserve spans 128 hectares, containing specialized chalk grasslands that support rare plant communities in poor soil conditions.
