Feldberg, Nature reserve in Black Forest, Germany

The Feldberg nature reserve covers an extensive area around Germany's highest peak outside the Alps, reaching 1,493 meters in elevation.

The nature reserve received its protected status in 1937, becoming the first and largest conservation area in Baden-Württemberg with dedicated ranger supervision since 1989.

The mountain territory includes traditional Black Forest hiking paths, including the circular Feldberg Steig trail that connects various mountain huts.

The reserve contains more than 50 kilometers of ski runs and 14 ski lifts, making it Germany's largest skiing area outside the Bavarian Alps.

The Feldsee lake within the reserve formed through glacial processes during the Würm period, creating a natural bowl in the billion-year-old gneiss bedrock.
