The Volkmarsberg is a mountain in the Swabian Alb, south of Aalen in the Ostalbkreis, Germany, with an altitude of 743 metres (2,438ft).[1] It rises at the edge of the town of Oberkochen,[2] from where there is a 2.5-kilometre (1.6mi) path to the summit.
Volkmarsberg Tower and shelter
On the summit plateau there is a shelter as well as the 23-metre (75ft) Volkmarsberg tower,[3] a stone observation tower built in 1930, from which one has a far-reaching view over the entire Ostalbkreis.[4] In rare temperature inversion conditions the 180-kilometre (110mi) distant Zugspitze can be seen.[5]
Volkmarsberg was designated as a nature reserve in 1938,[6] and recognised by the European Environment Agency as a nature conservation site in 1994.[7]
