Wattkopf, Mountain summit in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Wattkopf is a forested mountain in the northern Black Forest region that rises to 338 meters above sea level. The slopes are densely covered with spruce and fir trees, creating a continuous green landscape from base to summit.
The Wattkopf lies east of Ettlingen on the western edge of the northern Black Forest. Its western slope holds the local Bismarck Tower at mid-height. In 1994 the 1,950-metre Wattkopftunnel opened beneath the mountain as part of Ettlingen's eastern bypass, and since 1996 a 76-metre reinforced-concrete tower on the summit has carried the SWR4 Badenradio transmitter.
The 76-metre reinforced-concrete broadcasting tower on the summit has carried SWR4 Badenradio since 1996 and, from 2011, also mobile phone, Karlsruhe transport authority radio and digital emergency services signals.
