The Stocksberg is one of the highest elevations in the Löwenstein Mountains in Baden-Württemberg ( Germany ). Due to its great height of 539.7 m above sea level. NHN and thanks to the striking transmission tower on its top, the Lias peak can be seen from a great distance.
Geographical location
The Stocksberg is about 3.5 km southeast of Löwenstein and about 2.2 km west-northwest of Neulautern as the crow flies . On the north-eastern flank of the mountain stands the hamlet of Stocksberg about 50 m below the unwooded crest of the mountain , to the south-east it has a foothill Steinberg, which after the flat connecting saddle is 1.3 km away again up to 535.1 m above sea level. NHN raises.
On its north and east side, in the districts of Schelmenhölzle and Gehrn, two streams emerge from many spring branches, which in a short course flow into the "Spiegelberger" Lauter in the east. On the wooded southern flank of the mountain, another spring branch runs through the short grinding blade of the uppermost Bottwar , which itself rises on its western flank, both bodies of water lie in the large hillside forest area Seizengehren . West-northwest of the mountain in Eselsbiß lies the origin of the Schmidbach , which also flows further down the valley from the right into the Bottwar.
Origin of name and history
The name Stocksberg is derived from the stocking up of the forest during the clearing settlement at the foot of the mountain. While the village of Stocksberg became part of Württemberg in the 15th century and became part of Beilstein , the hilltop with the Stocksberg hunting lodge including the south-western slope forest Seizengehren below remained in the possession of the Counts of Löwenstein and is still an exclave part of the town of Löwenstein .
Transmission tower and system
On the hilltop right next to the Stocksberg hunting lodge, there is a transmission tower made of steel frame construction, which is 30 meters high and 21 meters wide. It is used by cell phone providers.
About 800 m southeast of the hilltop was located in the forest of the northwestern knoll (approx. 532 m above sea level ) of the 536.1 m above sea level. NHN Hohen Steinberg is a US military transmitter ⊙ that was no longer used in September 2006. In the meantime (as of October 2009) it has been dismantled and the area renatured.
tourism
In winter, when the snow conditions are favorable, the mountain is used as a small ski area with a ski lift and slope.
