Hiking

This hike is a must in the Black Forest because it takes you to the highest mountain in Baden-Württemberg. A fantastic view awaits you on the 1,493 meter high summit of the Feldberg. All around you can see in the distance from the Zugspitze over the Allgäu Alps to the Austrian Silvretta, further to the west the striking Säntis in Switzerland and on the French side the Vosges. If the view is really clear, you can even see Mont Blanc.

This Black Forest gourmet trail is beautiful and also offers great views along the way. You start in Feldberg-Ort at the house of nature. There are several parking spaces and a bus stop in the village. Right next door is the valley station of the Feldbergbahn, whose chairlift takes hikers up a large part of the vertical meters to the summit in summer.

Before the highest point of the Feldberg you will pass the Seebuck sub-summit, where you can climb a lookout tower. Then only a few meters separate you from the highest point in Baden-Württemberg, which promises you a wonderful summit experience.

On the descent you will pass several rest stops that make the hiking day perfect. Some of the paths become narrower and lead through a beautiful forest. Shortly before the paradisiacal Feldsee you can make a detour to the 300-year-old Raimartihof with Vesperstube.

The Feldsee is located in a breathtaking environment, because it nestles up to 300 meters high rock faces. The path along its shore is a real pleasure in nature and invites you to take a last break before you reach the starting point again after a final climb.

Feldbergturm Observation Tower on Seebuck

Highlight • Viewpoint

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.

Along with the Feldberg Tower, it is one of the landmarks on the Feldberg: the Bismarck Monument. It was erected in 1895 in honor of the German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck by some of his admirers. It cost 18,000 marks to build on the highest point of the Seebuck (1,448 meters above sea level). From here you have a magnificent view of the Black Forest.

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.

Feldsee

The Feldsee is a must-see that you should definitely plan for – not only because of its fascinating nature and its history, but also because of the breathtaking surroundings in the raised moor. :)

May 24, 2023,🌲 Feldbergsteig – Genießerpfade im Schwarzwald
What a hike! It can easily be included in the list of the funniest hikes. Why?

So: Today at noon we arrived at the parking lot next to the youth hostel because the weather was supposed to be nice by noon. So we started hiking without any problems, but the fog/clouds didn't want to lift yet. Who cares, there is …

The landscape is fantastically beautiful, unfortunately the vistas up to the Zugspitze and Switzerland from the summit of the Feldberg at 1,493m above sea level.
Autumn is certainly the most beautiful season to hike in the Black Forest, these colors ...
Challenging paths, uneven, rooted, stony, slippery, narrow, but a very, very great hiking trail.
On the way back …

The tour is really nice and challenging at the same time!
I would only recommend it during the week! Even during the week it is very well attended ... So nothing for lone fighters ;-)

Since we are currently hanging around in the Black Forest, we naturally had to go hiking on the Feldberg.
Well, we knew that the trip wouldn't be an insider tip, but we hadn't expected so many fellow hikers. There are also hardly any benches to rest on the route, but there are many serviced huts, which are ok sometimes, but …

An absolutely fantastic tour around the Feldberg with everything that goes with it. Steep climbs, cow pastures like in the Allgäu and fantastic views. Definitely worth recommending.

A wonderful and beautiful hike with wonderful views. If you're lucky, you can even see the Alps. There are many huts along the route where you can take a break. At the beginning you miss the beautiful hiking trails because you walk more or less on well-developed paths to the summit. That changes when you leave the summit and leave …

Once again, I hiked the Feldbergsteig. A truly beautiful hike with beautiful views and plenty of places to stop for refreshments.

Today the Feldbergsteig was on the program 🙂 Due to the weather, it was a mixture of hiking, snowshoeing and ice skating 😁

A good 80% of the route was completely icy, which is why every step had to be taken carefully - especially downhill very demanding 😅 I was accordingly slow with small steps.
A few times it almost …
