Höchsten
Höchsten has served as a rural hilltop in Upper Swabia for centuries. Reaching 838 metres, it is the highest point in the northern Lake Constance area and rises above a gently undulating patchwork of fields and forest. The surrounding roads link small settlements across this agricultural upland, rather than a dense urban centre. Höchsten is also marked by its broadcasting transmitter, an established feature of the regional communications network. Its elevated setting has made the hill a popular excursion destination, with places to stop for food and a broad sense of the landscape stretching towards Lake Constance and the Alps.

Baden-Württemberg is best known within Germany for the Black Forest, the wooded upland region that shapes much of the state’s southwest. Its terrain also reaches from the Upper Rhine plain and its wine-growing areas to the limestone ridges of the Swabian Jura, while Lake Constance marks part of the southern frontier. Stuttgart, the state capital, is closely tied to the automobile industry and hosts the Mercedes-Benz Museum and Porsche Museum. Heidelberg’s old town and castle add another important strand to the region’s identity, alongside renowned universities, spas and regional cooking.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
