Hohe Möhr, Mountain summit in Black Forest, Germany
Hohe Möhr is a mountain summit in the Black Forest that rises to approximately 989 meters. An observation tower about 30 meters tall stands at the peak, offering views across the surrounding Baden-Württemberg landscape.
The Hohe Möhr Tower was built in 1894 by the Schopfheim branch of the Black Forest Club, founded shortly before. Its lower section is stone and its upper section wood, and the tower is a listed monument that has been renovated several times. The separate SWR transmitter mast on the summit stands on Zell im Wiesental land, while the observation tower belongs to Schopfheim-Raitbach.
The Hohe Möhr Tower was built in 1894 by the newly founded Schopfheim branch of the Schwarzwaldverein, the Black Forest Club. Its lower section is stone and its upper section wood, and it is a listed monument. The 141 steps to the platform at about 25 metres are the main way visitors experience the summit.
Two main trails lead to the summit: from Schweigmatt covering about 2.5 kilometers and from Raitbach at about 5 kilometers, both accommodating different fitness levels. The routes are well-marked and relatively open, making navigation straightforward while offering views along the way.
The summit straddles the municipal boundary: the SWR transmitter stands on Zell im Wiesental land, while the observation tower belongs to Schopfheim-Raitbach. The 77-metre steel lattice mast carries VHF, mobile radio and other services, and its position at 47°41′35″N 7°52′26″E is fixed in the sources.
