Hornisgrinde Tower

Highlight • Monument

Busy on weekends. If you really want to enjoy the peace and beauty of the high moor, as well as the all-round view, you should make the ascent early in the morning or late in the evening.

Darmstädter Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Always delicious food and drinks. There is plenty of outdoor seating around the hut. The hut is located directly on the Westweg and is therefore also a good stopover with overnight accommodation.

You wind your way up 90 steel steps to the platform of the steel observation tower. The open iron railing offers a stunning view of the Black Forest, the Rhine Valley, and, in good weather, the Vosges Mountains opposite.

There is enough parking space at Woe too busy 😔 If you want to go alpine skiing, you should go floodlit in the evening. The slope also has artificial snowmaking 🤷‍♂️

Of course one of many slopes for apres-ski and certainly great. It would be too boring for me to just go up and down this one slope. Maybe something to practice? Anyway, totally packed there and they were queuing at the lift. Midweek and no vacation.

Also in winter there is a lot of activity here. If the parking lot at Mummelsee is full, you can sometimes find a parking space here. If possible, don't come at the weekend, unless you like the hustle and bustle...

There are some parking spaces at the Seibelseckle. Well known by skiers in winter, of course.
