Juxkopf, Mountain summit in Löwensteiner Mountains, Germany
Juxkopf is a mountain in the Löwensteiner range of Baden-Württemberg that reaches approximately 533 meters in elevation. An 18-meter observation structure with a concrete base and wooden frame crowns the summit and allows views across surrounding valleys.
The first observation tower appeared in 1882 and was replaced in 1902, with the current wooden and concrete structure completed in 1932. Management responsibility passed to a local group in 2008 when it took over operations from a larger regional association.
The lodge at the summit serves as a gathering place where hikers and nature lovers meet to share the experience of the views and the mountain air. This role makes it more than just a building; it becomes part of how people connect with the landscape.
The climb takes you through wooded terrain with several trail options leading to the summit from different starting points. The lodge operates seasonally and provides food and shelter for hikers making the journey.
From the observation platform, visitors can gaze across four different river valleys that spread out in various directions. This geographic position makes the peak notable for those interested in seeing how water shapes the surrounding land.
