The Belchen is not the highest mountain, but it is one of the most beautiful mountains in the Black Forest, because it offers visitors a fantastic panoramic view of the Rhine Valley, the Vosges and, in good weather, even as far as the Alps. As one of the most popular excursion destinations in the southern Black Forest, the Belchen is well frequented all year round.

View of the Alps from Belchen

Highlight • Viewpoint

Almost every travel and hiking guidebook praises the Belchen as the Black Forest's most beautiful viewpoint. And it's true – even when visibility is moderate, the Feldberg massif, the Swiss Alps, the Rhine Valley, and the Vosges Mountains are clearly visible.

View of the Nonnenmattweiher

Highlight • Viewpoint

Anyone who has been here once always loves to come back, it's a picturesque place.
Swimming in the pond is brilliant, best during the week, at weekends it's usually very busy here.

Nonnenmatt Pond

Highlight • Lake

The Nonnenmattweiher is a moor lake situated in a small basin. Swimming is permitted in the rear part of the lake; the front part is a nature reserve. The islands in the water float. Depending on the time of day and year, you can take wonderful photos there. And of course, you can also go on beautiful hikes from here. It is definitely worth climbing up to the Weiherfelsen. From there, you have a fantastic view!

March 25, 2023,Eck - Hau - Belchen - Nonni

With the bad weather today, I thought for a long time whether I wouldn't rather stay dry...but during a short break in the rain I let myself be tempted to quickly drive up the Sirnitz and pay a visit to the Belchen...
It started today at the corner between Vorderheubronn and Neuenweg - the first part on the asphalt down …

October 21, 2024,Belchen mit Alpenpanorama

The effort was worth it, the view from the Belchen was sensational today, the Alpine panorama in all its glory. Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau were within reach, even Mont Blanc was visible. You could hardly get enough of the view. After that, we went down in serpentines before going to the Nonnenmattweiher and then uphill again. That was pretty exhausting. …

Best time of year: Spring and autumn. The climb can be very warm in summer as it goes up the sunny side of the Belchen.

April 14, 2024,Auf zum Belchen und zum Nonnenmattweiher

We did this tour in mid-April before the snow came. For me, it is one of the most beautiful tours in the southern Black Forest. It starts at Haldenhof and then takes you along scenic paths to Belchen with a fantastic view of the Alps. From here, it is 700 meters downhill to Neuenweg before going uphill again to the …

September 10, 2023,Neuenweg zum Belchen

We started from Neuenweg, via Hau to Böllener Eck and then a dream path - again and again in the shade of old, gnarled beeches up to the Belchenhaus. Shortly beforehand, several hawks and buzzards competed to use the updraft. So far we haven't met a soul - all the more of them were on the road now. Up to …

All in all, a nice path.... albeit a bit exhausting. Beautiful, sometimes lonely, paths. However towards Belchen it became more and more crowded.

Hiked today from the Haldenhof to the Belchen and on via Neuenweg to the Nonnenmattweiher. Very nice, promising and varied tour without much forest and therefore ideal for spring and autumn.
