Brandenkopf, Mountain summit in Central Black Forest, Germany
The Brandenkopf reaches an elevation of 945 meters and stands between the valleys of Kinzig, Wolf, and Harmersbach rivers in Baden-Württemberg.
The mountain received its current name after a forest fire in 1730, replacing its former designation as Varnlehenskopf.
The 32-meter stone observation tower, constructed in 1929, serves as a central gathering point for visitors exploring the Black Forest region.
The mountain features multiple hiking trails connecting Wolfach, Hohenlochenhütte, and Oberharmersbach through a 21-kilometer route requiring 6 hours to complete.
Two wind turbines on Brandenkopf generate substantial renewable energy, with the Bürgerwindrad installation producing 2 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually.
