Belchen, Summit in Black Forest, Germany
Located at 1414 meters elevation, Belchen mountain features forests on northern slopes and extensive grasslands on southern faces.
Celtic inhabitants named this mountain Bellenus and performed sun-related ceremonies at its summit during significant astronomical events.
The Belchenhaus, constructed in 1898 at the mountain peak, stands as the highest mountain hut in Baden-Württemberg state.
A cable car system provides direct access to the summit, while multiple marked hiking paths offer alternative routes for reaching the top.
From this vantage point, observers can see the sun rise directly above another mountain named Belchen in Switzerland during winter solstice.
