Seebuck
At a height of the Seebuck is the second highest mountain the Black Forest after the Feldberg It is located in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. Geography The mountain rises in the Southern Black Forest immediately southeast of the Feldberg, of which it is sometimes considered a part because both mountains are part of the same ridge, only separated by a shallow depression called the ''Grüble'' or Feldberg Saddle (''Feldbergsattel''). The Seebuck drops steeply eastwards into the Feldsee lake, through which the ''Seebach'' flows, a stream that is later called the ''Gutach'' and then the Wutach. The ''Felsenweg'' ("Rock Path") which runs from the summit area down the steep mountainside to the Feldsee is only suitable for hikers with robust footwear and sure-footedness, but is very attractive thanks to its varied route and views of the Feldsee below.

Feldberg Im Schwarzwald
At the Feldberg in the Black Forest is the highest mountain in Baden-Württemberg, and the highest in Germany outside of the Alps. The local municipality of Feldberg was named after the mountain. Environment The Feldberg is situated southeast of Freiburg im Breisgau and is surrounded by the municipalities of Hinterzarten (northeast), Titisee (east), Menzenschwand (south), Bernau (also south) and Todtnau (southwest). About two kilometres southeast of the summit lies the village of Feldberg (). Between the main peak (, also known as the ''Höchste'' or "Highest", and its subpeak, the Seebuck (), just under away, is a saddle, the ''Grüble'', from which a wide spur, the Baldenweger Buck () branches off. The saddle initially descends gently and then ever more steeply into the valleys on either side. From the Seebuck the Feldberg drops steeply away to the northeast into the Feldsee, a lake of glacial origin at about altitude. Deeply incised valleys run northwest towards Freibu ...

Feldsee
The Feldsee (also ''Feldbergsee'') is a lake in southern Baden-Württemberg at the foot of the Feldberg east of Freiburg im Breisgau in Germany. It is part of the Southern Black Forest Nature Park. Geology and earth history The Feldsee is a tarn, around 97,500 m2 in area and up to 32 metres deep. It was formed by glaciers of the last ice age. The largest tarn in the Black Forest, it is hemmed in on three sides by steep mountainsides up to 300 metres high. It is almost circular and has a diameter of between 350 and 370 metres. This area of highland at a height of , which is open to the northeast, enabled it to amass and retain the huge quantities of snow that were the cause of this armchair-shaped terrain with its steep back face, level floor and embankment of moraine at the front. The lake formed after the melting of the ice sheet behind the lines of heaped-up glacial debris. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Herzogenhorn
The Herzogenhorn is a mountain, , in the southwest German state of Baden-Württemberg. It lies within a nature reserve in the municipality of Bernau im Schwarzwald. Location and surrounding area The Herzogenhorn is the source region for three streams, the Krunkelbach, the Kriegsbach and the Prägbach, which discharge into the Wiese. Height The Herzogenhorn is the third highest mountain in the Black Forest, after the Feldberg and the Seebuck. If the Baldenweger Buck is counted, the Herzogenhorn is only the fourth highest point in the Black Forest. But if only mountains with a prominence of 100 metres are counted as independent peaks, it becomes the second highest after the Feldberg. The Herzogenhorn is the highest mountain in the Black Forest to have a summit cross. Routes to the summit On the Herzogenhorn is an extensive network of trails. The mountain is usually ascended from Bernau, from Menzenschwand (roughly heading over the Spießhorn Pass), or from the Fel ...

Black Forest
The Black Forest (german: Schwarzwald ) is a large forested mountain range in the state of Baden-Württemberg in southwest Germany, bounded by the Rhine Valley to the west and south and close to the borders with France and Switzerland. It is the source of the Danube and Neckar rivers. Its highest peak is the Feldberg with an elevation of above sea level. Roughly oblong in shape, with a length of and breadth of up to , it has an area of about 6,009 km2 (2,320 sq mi). Historically, the area was known for forestry and the mining of ore deposits, but tourism has now become the primary industry, accounting for around 300,000 jobs. There are several ruined military fortifications dating back to the 17th century. History In ancient times, the Black Forest was known as , after the Celtic deity, Abnoba. In Roman times (Late antiquity), it was given the name ("Marcynian Forest", from the Germanic word ''marka'' = "border"). The Black Forest probably represented the bo ...

Wutach (river)
The Wutach is a river, 91 kilometres long, in the southeastern part of the Black Forest in the German state of Baden-Württemberg. It is a right-hand tributary of the Rhine. In its lower reaches it flows for about 6 kilometres along the border with the canton of Schaffhausen, Switzerland. Name The name Wutach means "furious water", referring to the whitewater rapids in the gorge. ''Wut'' is recognisably cognate to a modern German word for anger; ''ach'', which forms part of the names of many rivers in the region, comes from an old Celtic word for water, cognate with Latin ''aqua''. Course The river changes its name twice before it discharges into the High Rhine near Waldshut: It rises in the Southern Black Forest as the Seebach in a highland hollow known as the ''Grüble'', only a few metres below the summit of the Seebuck, a subpeak of the Black Forest's highest mountain, the Feldberg. Shortly thereafter it drops in three cascades through a height of 62 metres down the F ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wiese (river)
The Wiese is a river, 57.8 kilometres long, and a right-hand tributary of the Rhine in southwest Germany and northwest Switzerland. From its source in Baden-Württemberg in the Southern Black Forest on the mountain of the Feldberg, it flows for a short distance though the county of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald and then mainly across Lörrach and through numerous settlements including the county town of Lörrach. After crossing the international border, the lower reaches of the river pass through the canton of Basel-Stadt, mainly through the city of Basle and through its district of Kleinbasel before emptying into the Upper Rhine. The valley of the Wiese, which drains a catchment of 455 square kilometres, is called the '' Wiesental'' or Wiese Valley; it is oriented roughly towards the south-west. Its largest tributary is the Little Wiese (''Kleine Wiese'') which approaches from the north. The right-hand Rhine tributary of the Wiese and the left-hand Rhine tributaries of the Birs ...

Stübenwasen
The Stübenwasen () is the sixth highest mountain in the Black Forest after the Feldberg (), Baldenweger Buck (), Seebuck (), Herzogenhorn () and the Belchen (). It is the highest point on the ridge between Schauinsland and Feldberg and is only separated from the latter by a wide saddle. To the north is the St. Wilhelm Valley, to the south the Wiesental with Todtnau and Todtnauberg. Vegetation and use The summit of the Stübenwasen is not wooded. The sudden transitions to forest show, however, that this is not a natural treeline. The Stübenwasen would not be treeless just on account of its height; the treeline here, about 100 kilometres north of the nearest north Alpine peak could be expected to lie at about 1,650–. The highlands are used in summer as cattle pasture, in winter as a ski area. Tourism The Stübenwasen is thus well developed for tourism, although it is not accessible by car, like for example the Feldberg or the Kandel. West of the summit is an inn, the ' ...

Belchen (Black Forest)
The Belchen, , or Black Forest Belchen (german: Schwarzwälder Belchen) is the fourth-highest summit of the Black Forest after Feldberg, Seebuck and Herzogenhorn. The municipalities of Münstertal, Schönenberg and Kleines Wiesental meet on the summit dome of Belchen which is located in the southwest German state of Baden-Württemberg. Geography The Belchen, with its furrowed, unbroken rock faces, rises 1,000 metres out of the Münstertal valley. Its north face is thus the area of highest relief energy in the German Central Uplands. Even towards the south the mountain drops steeply, its ''schrofen'' slopes descending 800 metres into the valley bowl of the Little Wiese near Neuenweg. The large expanse of rolling plateau in the eastern Black Forest has only survived in small places at the Belchen. Towards the Rhine Plain and the Blauen mountain the western main crest of the southern Black Forest has been cut into narrow ridges as a result of the marked uplift of ...

Baldenweger Buck
The Baldenweger Buck is a mountain top, , in the Black Forest around 900 metres northeast of the Feldberg summit. The bare ridge drops steeply towards the west, north and east into the surrounding valleys of the Zastlerbach and Seebach. Only towards the south does it transition into a shallow saddle (1,452.8 m) that links the Baldenweger Buck with the Feldberg top. With its low isolation of 520 metres and a prominence of only 7.7 metres to the Feldberg, the Baldenweger Buck is not considered to be an independent eminence, but a subpeak of the Feldberg. As a result, the second highest summit in the Black Forest is usually seen as the lower, but more prominent, Seebuck. A waymark Trail blazing or way marking is the practice of marking paths in outdoor recreational areas with signs or markings that follow each other at certain, though not necessarily exactly defined, distances and mark the direction of the trail. A blaz ...ed footpath runs over the Baldenwege ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
