Neuhewen, Basalt volcano in Hegau region, Germany
Neuhewen rises to an elevation of 867 meters, featuring steep slopes and exposed basalt formations that shape its distinctive silhouette against the Baden-Württemberg landscape.
The mountain held strategic importance with its castle, documented since 1236, until the Hewen rulers lost control of the surrounding territory to Austrian forces in 1315.
Local residents maintain extensive hiking networks around the mountain, integrating natural geological features with traditional German outdoor recreation practices.
Visitors can access the mountain through marked trails starting from Engen, with the Tourist Information Center at Marktplatz 4 providing detailed maps and guidance.
The volcanic formation contains specific mineral compositions that create particular soil conditions, supporting specialized plant communities adapted to basaltic terrain.
