Hochkopf

Hochkopf is a mountain summit in the northern Black Forest region, rising to approximately 1040 meters in elevation. The terrain features typical characteristics of the area with forested sections and open ground that allows views across the landscape.

The peak served local communities as a landmark for orientation across the landscape. The area became an important part of the Black Forest region during the 19th century.

Local hiking groups maintain several traditional benches at the summit, where visitors gather to share stories and observe regional customs throughout the year.

Multiple hiking trails of varying lengths connect the summit to nearby towns and parking areas. The most direct route is well marked and requires average hiking fitness without any special equipment.

From the summit, visitors can see in both directions toward the northern and southern parts of the Black Forest. On clear days, this view across both regions becomes particularly rewarding and makes the climb worthwhile.
