Irrenberg, Mountain summit in Zollernalb, Germany
Irrenberg is a mountain summit in the Zollernalb district reaching approximately 925 meters, formed from limestone rock typical of the Swabian Jura region. The peak and slopes are covered with woodland and grassy meadows that give the mountain its characteristic appearance.
The mountain formed from marine deposits laid down during the Jurassic period millions of years ago when the region was covered by sea. These ancient geological processes created the limestone layers that make up the peak today.
The slopes and meadows around the mountain are used regularly by local hikers and families enjoying the open terrain. People in the region feel connected to this landscape as part of their daily surroundings.
The summit is reachable via hiking trails in the Zollernalb area, with the most comfortable conditions occurring during spring through autumn months. Multiple routes provide access from different starting points in the surrounding region.
The slopes host specialized plant species that thrive in the limestone-rich soil, creating distinct ecological zones at various heights. This botanical diversity develops because of the specific soil conditions found on the mountain.
