Belchen, Summit in Black Forest, Germany
Belchen is a mountain in the Black Forest standing 1414 meters tall. The northern slopes are covered in forest, while the southern sides open up to grasslands.
Celtic people settled this mountain and used it for their ceremonies in ancient times. Over centuries, it became an important destination for mountain travelers and visitors.
The Belchenhaus, constructed in 1898 at the mountain peak, stands as the highest mountain hut in Baden-Württemberg state.
A cable car takes visitors straight to the summit, or you can walk up on marked trails. Both options get you there, just at different speeds depending on your choice.
From this vantage point, observers can see the sun rise directly above another mountain named Belchen in Switzerland during winter solstice.
