Schutterlindenberg

Schutterlindenberg is a summit reaching 297 meters at the northern edge of Lahr, topped by a linden grove covering one hectare. These trees form a distinctive visual landmark that shapes the local landscape.

A constitutional column was erected on the mountain in 1843 to commemorate the first Baden constitution of 1818. The monument was restored following damage in 1945.

The mountain serves as a gathering place for locals and hikers who come to enjoy views across the town. The linden trees at the peak shape the character of the site and invite visitors to rest.

The trail begins at Lahr train station and extends 2.6 kilometers through varied terrain with well-maintained paths. Different fitness levels can manage the route, though sturdy footwear is recommended for all walkers.

A transmission tower on the mountain was originally built by Canadian forces and now broadcasts FM and DAB radio programs throughout the region. Visitors often overlook this structure, which serves as a visible reminder of post-war history.
