The Brandenkopf Tower (33 meters) was originally built in 1902 as a wooden observation structure by the Schwarzwaldverein. But already in 1905, a new observation structure (22 meters) had to be built. Due to the risk of collapse, a square sandstone tower was erected in 1929. With the help of 150 steps, you reach the observation platform.

Ps: After the steep climbs of up to 19 percent, this outstanding view is more than earned. 👍🏻👌🏻

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Kreuzs saddle hut lends itself to an extended rest. From the 1st of May to the end of October, you can stop here on Sundays and public holidays. Not only children can let off steam on the spacious forest playground.

Start to Herrenholz high above Nil Eck up to Nil over the Schwarzenbach saddle to Durben up to Brandenkopf then to Hark over the Kreuzsattel.

I did the same (goal) tour exactly a year ago with a friend, Jürgen L., only the other way around, unfortunately this time alone. This time I saved myself the Katzenstein near Nordrach, it was enough without it.
