Hochfirst, Mountain summit in Black Forest, Germany

Hochfirst is a wooded mountain between Saig and Titisee-Neustadt in the Black Forest, reaching 1,190.1 metres above sea level. On its summit stand a mountain restaurant and the 25-metre Hochfirst Tower, a steel lattice structure on a natural stone base. The Hochfirstschanze ski jump lies on the mountain's slope.

The first wooden observation tower on the summit was built in 1888 and destroyed by a hurricane in 1890. Its natural stone base was kept for the 25-metre steel lattice tower erected the same year, which has been a listed building since 1989. The tower was closed from May 2014 to March 2015 for structural problems and again in early 2018 due to high radiation exposure from its antennas.

The Hochfirstschanze is one of the few ski jumping venues in Germany that regularly hosts World Cup events. In winter, spectators gather on the hillside to watch the jumps from close range.

The summit can be reached on foot from several starting points, with the most direct trail beginning in Saig. Weather can change quickly at this elevation, so sturdy footwear and a waterproof layer are worth bringing.

On very clear days, the view from the steel tower extends to the Alps of three countries, including Mont Blanc. This makes it one of the few spots in the Black Forest where such distant peaks come into sight.
