Herzogenhorn, Mountain summit in Bernau im Schwarzwald, Germany.

The Herzogenhorn rises to 1415 meters above sea level in Baden-Württemberg, making it the third highest peak in the Black Forest range.

First documented in 1328 as 'des herzogen horne', the mountain contained military fortifications during the Thirty Years' War under Margrave Louis William's direction.

The National Training Centre, established in 1967 after acquiring the Herzogenhorn inn, became central to winter sports development in the Black Forest region.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit from Bernau, with the Grafenmatt loop offering a 6.4-kilometer path and 250-meter elevation gain for beginners.

During weather inversions, the valleys fill with clouds while the summit remains in sunshine, offering views from the Rhine to Lake Constance.
