Schauinsland Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

Over 85 steps you reach the 22 meter high viewing platform of the Schauinsland Tower, actually called "Eugen-Keidel Tower". In good weather you can look into the Vosges and the Swiss Alps. The tower is always open.

October 22, 2021,Schauinsland–Schöne Ausblicke

Hike from the hiking car park (hotel) Notschrei to the Schau-ins-Land tower, then over the English monument to Hofsgrund and back to the Notschrei. During the whole hike there were wonderful views of the Schau-ins-Land tower and the Feldberg. What I liked best was the descent from the Schau-ins-Land tower to Hofsgrund. There it went downhill on beautiful paths.

Impressions of my today's summit tour. The start and finish was in Hofsgrund. From there it went with fantastic views to the summit and via the medicinal herb path back to Hofsgrund. A successful autumn tour.

December 30, 2021,Schauinsland Höhenweg 🏔️🏞️🚡🌫️

Today we were drawn to Freiburg's local mountain, the Schauinsland.
This high trail is said to have been Germany's most beautiful hiking trail in 2012. Why so critical?
First of all, the information on the homepage is not correct. New signage? Nope, little to no signage, without a GPS sat nav we would have been lost.
The path itself is …

Autumn hiking tour in local areas. The hike should still have holiday character, which is why the choice fell on Freiburg's local mountain Schauinsland with Germany's longest cable car. In fact, we rode this cable car for the first time and have been living in Markgräflerland for decades🫢. The hike begins at the Schauinslandbahn mountain station and initially runs down …

- Golden hours on the Schauinsland, with summit happiness -

Beautiful round trip to Hofgrund, followed by a climb to the summit. My goal was to reach the summit just before sunset. I arrived at the top just in time in an icy wind and was able to enjoy the beautiful panorama all the way to the Alps. The alpenglow …
