Schliffkopf, Mountain summit in Northern Black Forest, Germany.

Schliffkopf is a mountain summit in the northern Black Forest reaching about 1055 meters in elevation. The area features dense forests with several marked trails for visitors to explore.

The summit bog was first protected in 1938 as a 520-hectare nature reserve, extended by 876 hectares in 1986. Hurricane Lothar flattened ten hectares here in 1999; the Lotharpfad trail opened in June 2003. Most of the reserve became part of the National Park Schwarzwald in 2014.

The mountain sits within a region where traditional Black Forest communities have long depended on forest resources. Timber work and forestry remain part of daily life in the surrounding villages.

The Schliffkopf lies on the Schwarzwaldhochstraße between Baiersbronn, Ottenhöfen and Oppenau. The Lotharpfad is an 800-metre educational trail over footbridges, ladders and steps on a ten-hectare storm-felled area. Long-distance paths including the Westweg cross the summit. The summit region is a raised-bog nature reserve, so walkers should stay on the marked paths.

The Lothar Path opened in June 2003 on a ten-hectare patch of forest flattened by Hurricane Lothar in 1999. Its 800-metre route crosses the regrowth on footbridges, ladders and steps, so visitors walk above the young trees rather than through them.
