Blauen, Mountain summit in Black Forest, Germany

The Hochblauen mountain rises to 1,165 meters in elevation within the municipalities of Schliengen, Malsburg-Marzell, and Badenweiler in Baden-Württemberg.

The mountain was documented as Blauwen in 14th-century texts and later appeared in Matthäus Merian's geographical publication Topographia Sueviae from the 17th century.

The Deutsche Telekom radio relay tower at the summit broadcasts multiple stations across the southern Upper Rhine Valley, connecting local communities with media services.

Visitors can reach the summit through numerous hiking trails or drive via the High Blauen Road, which opened to private vehicles in 1928.

A steel lattice observation tower constructed in 1895 replaced an earlier wooden structure from 1875 and underwent restoration work in 1984.

Location: Baden-Württemberg
