geography
location
The Hohenstein rises in the Swabian-Franconian Forest Nature Park . Its summit is 0.8 km east-southeast of the village of Sechselberg in the Sechselberg suburb of the municipality of Althütte . On the northern slope is the Sechselberger Weiler Gallenhof , about 1 km northeast of the summit is the hamlet of Fautspach , which belongs to Sechselberg, in front of the mountain foot at the beginning of the valley of the stream of the same name.
The watershed between this Fautsbach (!) In the northeast, which flows into the upper Murr , and the Weißach in the southwest, which only flows into this Neckar in the middle reaches, runs over the wooded summit region . The drainage area of the Hörschbach , which flows into it between the two, extends close to the summit region from the northwest , while the catchment area of the Strümpfelbach wedges on the southeast slope , whose drainage reaches the Neckar further up via Wieslauf and Rems .
A little east of the summit there is a trigonometric point ( 569.3 m ) on the hilltop at a fork in the forest path . To the south, above Gallenhof, on the northern slope in the forest near the summit, there is a transmission tower and two water tanks almost 100 m apart . On the slope to the southwest, the state road L 1119 runs from Sechselberg towards Waldenweiler.
