Spießhorn

Spießhorn is a mountain peak in the Black Forest standing at approximately 1350 meters, situated between the communities of St. Blasien and Bernau im Schwarzwald. A wooden viewing platform at the summit overlooks the surrounding ridges and valleys below.

The mountain historically marked a boundary between different territorial areas and served as a natural reference point for surrounding communities. Its role as a border landmark has persisted in local geography over centuries.

This peak has long served as a gathering place for hikers from nearby villages who seek open views and fresh air. It remains an anchor point in the local landscape where people experience their connection to the Black Forest region.

Marked trails lead from Berggasthaus Krunkelbach-Hütte to the summit, covering a distance of one to two kilometers. Sturdy footwear and adequate water are important to bring, particularly on warm days.

The wooden platform at the summit features an intelligent telescope that automatically displays the names of visible Black Forest and Alpine peaks. This device turns peak identification into an interactive learning experience.
