Mooswaldkopf, Mountain summit in Central Black Forest, Germany
Mooswaldkopf is a 879-meter summit in the central Black Forest surrounded by dense coniferous forests. The landscape is shaped by reddish Buntsandstein sandstone formations that emerge between the trees and define the terrain.
Since 1805, this summit has marked the boundary between the former Grand Duchy of Baden and Kingdom of Württemberg. Stone boundary markers remain visible along the hiking trails today, serving as reminders of this historical division.
The name Mooswaldkopf refers to the moorlands and forests surrounding the peak, which shape the local landscape character. Visitors experience this blend of open wetlands and dense woodland, especially on the lower sections of the hiking trails.
Multiple marked hiking trails from the villages of Lauterbach and Hornberg lead to the summit, suitable for different fitness levels. The Gedächtnishaus Fohrenbühl lodge offers rest and refreshments for hikers along the way.
The surrounding forest contains a notable concentration of holly trees that form specialized fir-holly woodlands characteristic of this Black Forest region. These unusual forests can be observed while hiking through the area.
