Hohe Flum

Hohe Flum is a mountain summit in Baden-Württemberg reaching 536 meters in elevation and forming part of the Dinkelberg range. An observation tower sits atop the peak, and multiple hiking trails of varying difficulty provide access to the summit area.

The observation tower was built in 1874 through community fundraising and served as a military lookout post during both World Wars. Over time the mountain became a popular hiking destination attracting visitors from the surrounding region.

The name Hohe Flum comes from a stream that flows at the mountain's base, and hikers often follow routes that have been used for generations. The rows of old linden trees beside the observation tower create a special place to rest and connect with the site's long history.

The mountain is accessible via several marked trails of different difficulty levels starting from various points in the area. Wear sturdy footwear and bring layers, as weather conditions can change quickly at the summit throughout the year.

From the observation point visitors can see three countries on clear days: Germany's Black Forest, France's Vosges Mountains, and Switzerland's Jura range. This wide view from the summit explains why the site held military importance in the past.
