The Highest ( English Highest ) is a mountain in Tsau-ǁKhaeb- (restricted area) -Nationalpark (formerly restricted diamond area ) in southwestern Namibia . It reaches a height of 1114  m . The extension is about 4 km × 4 km.

To the west of the Höchst are the Klinghardtberge .

The average annual rainfall in this part of the Namib is only a few millimeters. The bushes that occur in the massif only survive thanks to the fog that forms over the cold Atlantic from time to time and drifts far inland during the day. The individual camel thorn trees draw their water from deep underground water reservoirs.
