Ölberg, Mountain summit in Schriesheim, Germany.

The Ölberg mountain rises to 449.7 meters above sea level, forming part of the Odenwald region in Baden-Württemberg with views across the Rhine valley.

The northern slopes of Ölberg contain the remains of Strahlenburg castle, while ancient Celtic ring walls indicate early human presence in this area.

The mountain region preserves geological heritage through its former porphyry quarries, which operated from 1891 until the final closure in 1967.

A moderate hiking trail circles the mountain for 9.31 kilometers, connecting multiple points of interest including castle ruins and natural formations.

The mountain's former quarry areas have transformed into climbing locations, while the summit serves as a launch point for paragliding activities.
