Baldenweger Buck, Subordinate summit of the Feldberg in the Black Forest, Germany

The Baldenweger Buck is a bare, subordinate ridge of the Feldberg in the Black Forest, reaching 1,460.5 m above sea level about 900 m northeast of the Feldberg main peak. Its crest drops steeply west, north and east into the valleys of the Zastlerbach and Seebach, while to the south it falls only slightly to a shallow 1,450 m saddle linking it with the Feldberg top.

The Baldenweger Buck is a subordinate elevation of the Feldberg, 1,460.5 m above sea level, about 900 m northeast of the main peak. Its low isolation of 410 m and prominence of only 11 m to the Feldberg mean it is not counted as an independent summit; the second-highest summit of the Black Forest is usually given as the lower but more prominent Seebuck.

A waymarked trail from the Rinken runs over the bare ridge past the Baldenweger Hut to the Feldberg summit, so walkers cross the Buck on the way up rather than seeking it out as a destination. Its 11 m saddle height against the Feldberg means it reads as a shoulder of the main peak, not a separate summit.

The waymarked path from the Rinken runs over the Baldenweger Buck via the Baldenweger Hut to the Feldberg summit. The bare ridge falls steeply to the west, north and east, so the route stays on the marked trail; the shallow 1,450 m saddle to the south links it with the Feldberg top.

With a prominence of only 11 metres and an isolation of 410 metres from the Feldberg, the Baldenweger Buck is classed as a subordinate elevation rather than an independent summit. For that reason the Seebuck, lower but with 29 metres of prominence, is usually named the second-highest summit of the Black Forest instead.
