At 1006.4 m above sea level, the Rainen is the fifth highest mountain in the Swabian Alb. It is located about two kilometers east of Deilingen, in whose area it is also located, and forms a mountain range with the mountains Ortenberg (just below the thousand mark), Montschenloch, Bol and Wandbühl. The Rainen is the northernmost peak of this mountain group and the region of the 10 thousand meters. Unlike Bol and Wandbühl, the Rainen is part of the Albtrauf, so that from the northwest it has a clearly visible steep flank several hundred meters high with scree slopes, which it shares with the Ortenberg. Its elongated summit is covered by a spruce forest, the highest point is marked by a summit marker. The vegetation-free quarry between these two mountains offers a good view of the Upper Schlichem Valley, the Alb foreland and the Plettenberg opposite. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainen

The Hochberg is a 1008.9 m above sea level mountain on the southwestern edge of the Swabian Alb between Deilingen and Wehingen in Baden-Württemberg. The summit is in the district of the Deilingen district of Delkhofen. The Hochberg is the third highest mountain in the Swabian Alb after the Lemberg (1015.7 m above sea level) and the Oberhohenberg (1009.6 m above sea level) and belongs to the region of the ten thousand meters. Like the two closely neighboring mountains Lemberg in the south and Oberhohenberg in the north, the Hochberg lies on the European main watershed, which separates the catchment areas of the Rhine and Danube. Together, the three peaks form a connected mountain massif. The mountain can be reached via the Swabian Alb North Edge Trail (HW 1 with red triangle). The path between the Oberhohenberg and the Hochberg used to run along the edge of the steep slope, the so-called Albtrauf. In order to avoid falls, the route has been changed slightly, but there are no safety ropes or fences here either. The summit is wooded, but the steep edge with little vegetation still offers a good view to the west of the Alb foothills and the Black Forest, and to the south of the northern flank of the Lemberg.
