Lupfen

Lupfen rises 975.5 meters above sea level, forming a distinct peak in the Schwäbische Alb region of Baden-Württemberg with extensive forests and meadows.

During the High Middle Ages, the Lords of Lupfen established their castle seat at the mountain ridge, known then as Wächter der Baar.

The summit features an observation tower that provides views across multiple valleys, including Elta, Faulenbach, Ursental, Lipbach, and Bära regions.

Visitors can access the mountain through railway stations at Spaichingen-Mitte, Rietheim, or Tuttlingen-Schulen, with various hiking trails leading to the summit.

The protected natural area around Lupfen spans 101 hectares and contains fourteen grasshopper species and rare orchid varieties in its limestone grasslands.
