Farrenberg

Farrenberg is a mountain in Baden-Württemberg rising to about 820 meters, covered with beech forests interspersed with open meadows. Its slopes feature a mix of wooded areas and grassland that change with the seasons.

The mountain stands near the medieval Andeck Castle and has served as a geographical landmark in the Swabian Jura for centuries. Its location shaped settlement patterns and regional history throughout the ages.

Fruit farming traditions shape the surrounding landscape, with orchards visible across the hillsides from centuries of local cultivation. This agricultural practice remains woven into daily life and the region's visual character.

Hiking trails depart from the mountain in various directions, including a route to the Dreifürstenstein viewpoint that crosses through forest sections and open ground. Wear sturdy shoes and bring appropriate gear depending on the season and weather.

The mountain provides access to a notable geotope called the Mössinger landslide, a major rockslide event that occurred in 1983. This geological feature represents a rare and visible example of dramatic earth movement in the region.
