Feldberg, Mountain peak in Black Forest, Germany
Feldberg is a mountain peak in the Black Forest that reaches 1,493 meters and stands as the highest point in Baden-Württemberg outside the Alps. The area features forested slopes, alpine meadows, and several lakes shaped by glacial activity.
Feldberg was shaped during the last ice age and carries evidence of that period in its rock formations and lakes. About 10,000 years ago, the ice retreated and left behind the Feldsee and other waters across the landscape.
The mountain serves as a place where visitors can learn how the landscape works and what lives here. The Haus der Natur helps people understand the plants and animals that belong to this area and why it matters.
In winter, 28 ski lifts connect different slopes and serve runs for various skill levels. In summer, marked hiking trails lead to viewpoints and down to the lakes, with routes offering different lengths and difficulty levels.
The Feldberg-Bärental railway station is the highest standard gauge Deutsche Bahn station in Germany and serves regular passengers traveling to explore the mountain. This high elevation makes it a remarkable feature in the German railway network.
