Hinterwaldkopf

Hinterwaldkopf, Mountain summit in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

Hinterwaldkopf is a 1,199.2 m high mountain in the Southern Black Forest, bounded by the Höllental valley to the north and the Zastlertal to the south. Its open summit area looks across the Dreisam valley toward the Kandel. A trail of the Black Forest Club leads over the mountain to the Hinterwaldkopfhütte, an alpine guesthouse of the Weilersbach grazing cooperative.

On 22 July 1922 a memorial to gymnasts killed in the First World War, built by members of the Freiburger Turnerschaft von 1844, was dedicated on the summit. A 10-tonne granite block, 4 metres long and 1.50 metres high, was excavated 50 metres below the summit and set inside a low ring wall of natural stone; a plaque lists 82 names. It was designed by architect Curt Balke and sculptor Stadelmann. In 1954 a stone monument, again to Balke's plans, was added beside it, with a metal plate naming gymnasts killed in the Second World War and victims of the bombing war.

A plaque lists 82 names. In 1954 a stone monument by the same architect, Curt Balke, was added beside it, with a metal plate naming gymnasts killed in the Second World War and victims of the bombing raids.

Walking routes start from various trailheads and offer different difficulty levels, allowing visitors to choose paths suited to their fitness. Good hiking boots and weather-appropriate clothing are important, and the huts along the way provide rest and meal stops.
