The Black Forest's highest peak provides panoramic views across southwestern Germany to the Swiss Alps and French Vosges mountains. This popular year-round destination offers excellent hiking trails in summer and skiing opportunities in winter. The summit area features observation towers and mountain huts, making it accessible to visitors of all fitness levels.

Feldberg is the highest peak in the Black Forest, rising in southwestern Germany. It is a mountain that works well for a day out in almost any season, whether you come to walk, to ski, or simply to look at the view.

What the summit offers

From the top, the panorama stretches across southwestern Germany and, on a clear day, reaches as far as the Swiss Alps and the French Vosges mountains. Observation towers and mountain huts sit in the summit area, so you can take in the scenery from a high vantage point and stop for a rest without leaving the mountain.

Walking in summer

  • Excellent hiking trails lead through the Black Forest landscape.
  • Routes are suited to a range of fitness levels, so you can choose a short stroll or a longer climb.
  • The summit's huts give you a natural place to pause before heading back down.

Skiing in winter

When snow arrives, Feldberg becomes a winter destination with skiing opportunities. Its summit area remains accessible to visitors who are not skiers, who can still enjoy the views and the mountain huts.

Because Feldberg is popular throughout the year, it suits both a relaxed family outing and a more active trip. Plan your visit around the season you prefer: summer for the trails and the open views, winter for snow and skiing.
