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 ' ...

Notschrei Skiing Trail
The Notschrei Skiing Trails are a network of trails spanning approximately 40 kilometres. The trails are located on the Notschrei (1,119 m above NHN), which is a pass between the villages of Oberried and Todtnau in the Black Forest. The Notschrei Skiing Trails are also one of the five Biathlon base camps in Baden-Württemberg. Trails Four skiing trails are located on the Nothschrei: *Stübenwasen Trail (20 km starts on the Notschrei (1119m), continues over the Stübenwasen (1386m) and the Todtnauer Hütte (1300m) which is located on the Feldberg and finally leads all the way back. The elevation difference is about 260 metres and the total ascent is about 550 metres. There are several shortcuts: 6 km, 11 km, 13 km und 15 km. These shortcuts lead the Nordic skier to Muggenbrunn and the trails of Todtnauberg and the Feldberg. The trail has been changed oftentimes over the course of the last few years.

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. Tourism Feldberg Tower The Feldberg Tower (''Feldbergturm'') is located on the Seebuck. This is a former transmis ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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 ...

Todtnauberg
Todtnauberg is a German village in Black Forest (''Schwarzwald'') belonging to the municipality of Todtnau, in Baden-Württemberg. It is named after the homonym mount ("berg" means hill or mountain in German). It is famous because it is the place where the German philosopher Martin Heidegger had a chalet and wrote portions of his major work, ''Being and Time''. History The village was an autonomous municipality until it was merged into Todtnau on 1 April 1974. Geography The village is amsl, north of Todtnau, in the northeastern corner of Lörrach District. It is a distance of from Freiburg, from Lörrach, from Basel, in Switzerland, and from Mulhouse, in France. The town is within hiking distance of Feldberg, the highest point in the Black Forest, and its open, well-sunlit valley helps sustain its popularity as a destination for skiing in the winter and hiking in the summer.

Kandel (mountain)
The Kandel is a mountain, 1,241.4 metres high, in the Black Forest in the south of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Geography The Kandel is located 25 km northeast of Freiburg in the Breisgau and has a height of 1,241 m (4,072 ft). The Kandel belongs to the Central Black Forest gneiss region. The overall shape of the massif was tectonically formed: the Kandel block rises table-like in a northwesterly direction from the plateau around Sankt Peter. It is surrounded by faults, some of which form clear steps in the terrain; for example the Rhine Plain lies more than 1,000 metres below the Kandel and the summits on the other side of the Elz valley are 500-600 metres lower. The ongoing uplifting of the Kandel block from the Rhine Plain (1-2 mm/year) sometimes manifests itself in earth tremors. The Kandel massif is cut by deep radial valleys into mountain ridges, some rounded and some rocky. The steep mountainsides reach heights of 600 metres in the southwest (Glotter valley), 650 metr ...

Alps
The Alps () ; german: Alpen ; it, Alpi ; rm, Alps ; sl, Alpe . are the highest and most extensive mountain range system that lies entirely in Europe, stretching approximately across seven Alpine countries (from west to east): France, Switzerland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Austria, Germany, and Slovenia. The Alpine arch generally extends from Nice on the western Mediterranean to Trieste on the Adriatic and Vienna at the beginning of the Pannonian Basin. The mountains were formed over tens of millions of years as the African and Eurasian tectonic plates collided. Extreme shortening caused by the event resulted in marine sedimentary rocks rising by thrusting and folding into high mountain peaks such as Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn. Mont Blanc spans the French–Italian border, and at is the highest mountain in the Alps. The Alpine region area contains 128 peaks higher than . The altitude and size of the range affect the climate in Europe; in the mountains, precipitation ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Treeline
The tree line is the edge of the habitat at which trees are capable of growing. It is found at high elevations and high latitudes. Beyond the tree line, trees cannot tolerate the environmental conditions (usually cold temperatures, extreme snowpack, or associated lack of available moisture). The tree line is sometimes distinguished from a lower timberline, which is the line below which trees form a forest with a closed Canopy (biology), canopy. At the tree line, tree growth is often sparse, stunted, and deformed by wind and cold. This is sometimes known as ''krummholz'' (German for "crooked wood"). The tree line often appears well-defined, but it can be a more gradual transition. Trees grow shorter and often at lower densities as they approach the tree line, above which they are unable to grow at all. Given a certain latitude, the tree line is approximately 300 to 1000 meters below the permanent snow line and roughly parallel to it. Causes Due to their vertical structure, tree ...
