Weißtannenhöhe

Rising to 1,190 meters, Weißtannenhöhe features dense forests of spruce and beech trees across its slopes in the Black Forest region.

In 1928, two female hikers from Mannheim disappeared near Weißtannenhöhe, leading to an unsolved criminal case that garnered attention throughout Germany.

The mountain forms part of the Westweg and E1 European long-distance path network, connecting multiple cultural regions through established hiking routes.

Multiple springs emerge from the western slopes of Weißtannenhöhe, feeding into the Ödenbach stream, which flows through the Ravenna Gorge.

The summit provides observation points with views extending across the Feldberg region, the Upper Rhine Plain, and reaching the distant Vosges mountains.
