Hoher Ochsenkopf
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hoher Ochsenkopf ("High Ochsenkopf", literally "High Oxen Peak") is a mountain in the Northern Black Forest in the municipality of Forbach in south Germany. At 1,054.5 m above sea level (NHN)[1] it is the highest point in Forbach and also in the county of Rastatt. The mountain, whose domed summit or kuppe was already a nature reserve lies in the Black Forest National Park which was founded in 2014.[2] Its name (which means "high oxen-peak") recalls its former use as wood pasture.[3]
