The Neunkircher Höhe (605 metres) is the highest elevation of the Hessian part of the Odenwald. The mountain is located near the village Neunkirchen and is the origin of the rivers Modau, Gersprenz and Lauter.
A viewing tower (34 metres) on its top was built in 1906 and replaced an older predecessor, which had been built in 1888 and destroyed by a storm in 1904.
