The region of 10 thousand is a region of the Swabian Alb in Baden-Württemberg .

Almost all of the highest Albbergs (each over 1000  m above sea  level ) including the highest Albberg ( 1015.7  m ) are located in this relatively small region of only 20 km² around Deilingen , Wehingen and Gosheim on the south-west Alb .

The name "Region of the 10,000" goes back to an action group that was initiated by various restaurants and communities in the Heuberg to promote regional tourism .

The tens of thousands are - sorted by height in meters (m) above mean sea level (NHN):

  1. Lemberg ( 1015.7  m ), near Gosheim , highest mountain in the Swabian Alb ( ⊙ )
  2. Oberhohenberg ( 1009.6  m ), near Schörzingen ( ⊙ )
  3. Hochberg ( 1008.9  m ), near Delkhofen ( ⊙ )
  4. Wandbühl ( 1006.8  m ), near Delkhofen ( ⊙ )
  5. Rainen ( 1006.4  m ), near Deilingen ( ⊙ )
  6. Montschenloch ( 1004.4  m ), near Delkhofen ( ⊙ )
  7. Hochwald ( 1002.6  m ), near Gosheim ( ⊙ )
  8. Bol ( 1002.3  m ), near Deilingen ( ⊙ )
  9. Hummelsberg ( 1002.1  m ), near Denkingen ( ⊙ )
  10. Kehlen ( 1001.3  m ), near Gosheim ( ⊙ )

According to the Schartenhöhe criterion , only a few of these 10 peaks would be independent mountains.

Each form

  • Lemberg, Hochberg, Oberhohenberg
  • Hochwald, Kehlen, Hummelsberg
  • Wandbühl, Montschenloch, Bol, Rainen

mountain ranges of uniform height, which makes it difficult for those unfamiliar with the area to identify the respective peaks.

The two other 1000  m high Albberge, the 1001.7  m high and very striking Plettenberg ( ⊙ ) near Dotternhausen and the 999.3  m high Schafberg ( ⊙ ) near Hausen am Tann are located about 8 km to the north-northeast and are not among the 10 Counted in thousands .

  • The Hummelsberg (1002.1 m)

  • The way to the White Cross on the Kehlen (1001.3 m)

  • The white cross on the throat

  • The radar tower on the Hochwald (1002.6 m)

  • The Lemberg (1015.7 m) - highest mountain in the Swabian Alb

  • Deilingen, in the background the Montschenloch (1004.4 m) with the telecommunications tower

  • On the Oberhohenberg (1009.6 m) - the second highest mountain in the Swabian Alb
