Great summit Tour from Brandenberg to the Feldberg – Upper Black Forest

Hiking

At 1,493 meters, the Feldberg is not only the highest mountain in the Black Forest and Baden-Württemberg, it is also the highest peak in Germany outside the Alps. This of course allows a spectacular view. Plus, it's a great feeling when you realize there's only the sky over you right now.

The summit of the Feldberg can be reached via several routes or even by cable car. If you are not only concerned about the summit, but a challenging hike through magnificent scenery, then this tour is just the ticket.

The tour starts and ends in Brandenberg. You can reach the starting point both by car and by bus 7300 from Titisee station. The trail meanders steadily upwards through extensive spruce forest. After about two hours, the forest clears and when you finally step out of the forest on the mountain meadows of the Feldberg, the St. Wilhelmer Hütte awaits you for a cozy rest.

Shortly after you reach the summit and wander from there to the Seebuck. When you are fed up with the phenomenal panorama, you begin the descent. You pass the Feldberghof and the Hebelhof before you walk back to the starting point on the wildly romantic Waterfall Trail along the Bach Meadow.

Feldberg Summit

Highlight • Summit

Up here you have a wonderful view of the Black Forest and beyond. Highest peak in Baden-Württemberg, great refreshment. Attention: it is better to take warmer clothes with you, because it is also the coldest place in the state on average over the year.

The 1,450 meter high Seebuck is the secondary summit of the Feldberg. Up here is a former radio tower of Südwest-Rundfunk, which is now used as an observation tower with an entrance fee. If you took the lift up the mountain, you can go onto the platform for free. And the visit is worth it. The additional meters give you a breathtaking all-round view of the Black Forest and its mountains.

Pale waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

A very beautiful waterfall in a beautiful landscape. Unlike the Todtnau Waterfall, this waterfall is rarely visited. We were able to enjoy the natural experience there entirely on our own. The water of the Rotenbach falls over 40 meters and falls in several stages (the upper one is 15 meters, the lower one is 10 meters) into the trough valley of the Schwarzald River Wiese.

Karim
July 26, 2024, Große Gipfeltour von Brandenberg auf den Feldberg – Hochschwarzwald

Brandenberg is located immediately to the north-east of Todtnau and from here we start our circular tour of the Feldberg. At the beginning it is a little steep, but we make good progress on wide forest paths and gradually approach the Feldberg from the southwest. We finally reach the high plateau of the Feldberg via the St. Wilhelmer Hut. You can tell that it is the holidays, because there are already a few people up here, while I only met two hikers in the last ten kilometers. We finally head downhill along the beautiful Hebelweg, which runs along a stream in the forest with many small bridges. A very beautiful section. The whole thing is crowned with the Fahler waterfall.
