The Hagberg is 586.9 m above sea level. NHN the highest mountain in the Welzheimer forest . He is Gschwend in Baden-Württemberg Ostalbkreis .
The mountain towers over its surroundings visible from afar. In earlier times it is said to have been part of the border line between Swabia and Franconia (like the Asperg and Hesselberg, for example ) . The Hagbergturm observation tower stands on its summit .
geography
location
The Hagberg rises on the northern edge of the Welzheimer Forest, which borders the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains , within the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park . Its summit is 2.4 km west-north-west of the Gschwender core town and 500 m east-south-east of the small Gschwender village Horlachen (as the crow flies ); beyond the Hagbach valley cut past Horlachen in the west, the Gschwender hamlet of Altersberg stands on the Altersberg , the next major elevation. On the top of the Hagberg itself are the Gschwender hamlets and farms Haghof and Sturmhof in the southeast and Wasserhof in the east-northeast. The Gschwender hamlet Hagkling occupies the lower eastern slope .
On the Hagberg, the summit region of which is unforested, parts of the Welzheimer Wald protected landscape area with Leintal ( CDDA no. 325761; designated in 1972; 54.8936 km² in size) are located.
Natural allocation
The Hagberg belongs to the natural spatial main unit group Swabian Keuper-Lias-Land (No. 10), in the main unit Schurwald and Welzheimer Wald (107) and in the subunit Welzheimer Wald (107.3) to the natural area Hinterer Welzheimer Wald (107.32). The landscape leads north into the natural area Kirnberger Wald (108.30), which in the main unit Swabian-Franconian forest mountains (108) belongs to the sub-unit forest area at the Mittleren Kocher (108.3).
geology
The cap of the Hagberg lies in the Black Jura , which here on the northern edge of the Welzheimer Forest is partly only preserved in small layer islands , such as in the west at the Altersberg ( 575.1 m above sea level ), on which the Gschwender hamlet of the same name stands, or at Hohen Nol ( 564.9 m above sea level ) east of Gschwend. Further to the south it forms long and flat ridges between the valleys mostly running southwards. Tuber marl ( Trossingen formation ) is located on the Hagberg slopes , otherwise the surrounding area is predominantly Stubensandstein ( Löwenstein formation ). Alone in the valley sword of the north slope draining Rauhenzainbachs deeper layers of the soon to be middle Keuper cut.
Flowing waters
The sources of two Lein tributaries and one Kocher tributary are located on the Hagberg : on the eastern slope at the hamlet of Hagkling with the short Steinbach rises the left main strand upper course of the near Täferrot, which flows into the Lein, initially called Obere Rot , and in front of the "Gschwender" South-east slope closer to Gschwend whose even shorter right upper course Wettenbach . A little west of the mountain, near the hamlet of Altersberg, is the source of the Hagbach , a tributary of the Rot that flows into the Lein at the Voggenberger Sägmühle . The Rauhenzainbach , a tributary of the Fichtenberger Rot that flows into the Kocher to Unterrot, rises to the northwest of the mountain near the hamlet of Horlachen . The runoff of all the mentioned streams reaches the Kocher and then the North Sea via the Neckar and Rhine .
Hagbergturm
On the summit of the Hagberg stands the 23 m high Hagbergturm , an observation tower that was inaugurated in 1980. From the tower you can see the Swabian-Franconian Forest Mountains, the Welzheimer Forest, the municipality of Gschwend and, among others, Stuttgart and the Swabian Alb .
Traffic and walking
The state road 1080 (Gschwender / Welzheimer Straße) runs from Welzheim to Gschwend a little south to south-east past the Hagberg . A narrow road branches off this road before Gschwend, which leads in the area of the municipality of Gschwend through Hag-, Sturm- and Wasserhof and east and north past the summit region to Horlachen. It meets the 3251 district road west of the mountain , which runs from Altersberg directly past Horlachen to the L 1080. On the municipal road that passes the summit region, there is a small parking lot on the western edge of Sturmhof; From there you have to walk about 500 m in a north-westerly direction through Haghof to the mountain top. The Main-Neckar-Rhein-Weg runs southwest over the high elevations of the mountain near the summit .
