Huberfelsen, Natural monument in Gutach, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

Huberfelsen is a granite rock at 759.9 m above sea level on a ridge in the Middle Black Forest, on the boundary between the Emmendingen and Ortenau districts within the municipality of Gutach. It stands at the eastern edge of the Prechtaler Schanze-Ecklesberg nature reserve, about 3.5 km from the Landwassereck on the L 107. A railing runs along its top, giving it the look of a ship's bow.

Originally called Spitzer-Stein, the granite rock was renamed in August 1902 as a monument to former Obervogt Theodor Huber, and a small memorial plaque on the rock has marked the name since. In 2004 the railing was adapted to new safety standards. The rock was designated a natural monument by decree on 29 August 1963 and is also protected as a geotope.

The rock was long called Spitzer-Stein before August 1902, when it became a memorial to former Obervogt Theodor Huber; a small plaque on the granite names him. Three Schwarzwaldverein long-distance trails — the Westweg, the Querweg Rottweil–Lahr and the Zweitälersteig — pass the rock.

The site is reachable via marked hiking trails from Gutach with several vantage points to take in views. Visit during dry weather when the paths are easier to walk and visibility is best.
