Lettstädter Höhe

Lettstädter Höhe is a mountain summit in the Black Forest region located southwest of Kniebis, surrounded by dense coniferous woodland. The peak sits within a landscape of rolling forested slopes that characterize this part of Baden-Württemberg.

The summit became part of the Westweg hiking system that has connected Pforzheim to Basel since the 19th century. This established long-distance route made the peak a recognized waypoint for travelers crossing the region.

Local residents maintain traditional hiking practices in the Black Forest region, organizing regular group expeditions to the Lettstädter Höhe summit.

The summit is accessible via marked hiking trails from several starting points in the surrounding area, including routes near Alexanderschanze. A small shelter nearby offers rest facilities for hikers who need a break during their walk.

The peak sits near the edge of the Glaswaldsee area and marks an important point on the European long-distance path E1. This trail spans thousands of kilometers across multiple countries and makes this location a junction point for international hikers.
