Hiking
The Zastler Loch or Zastlerkar on the north side of the Feldberg summit in the Black Forest is the highest cirque in a German low mountain range. It forms the head of the Zastler valley, in which the Zastlerbach flows northwards to the Dreisam.

Protected geotope named "Kächtenrand am Osterrain, Feldberg"
Description: The Zastlerloch is an imperfectly formed cirque. In winter, the upper edge bears several meters of snow cornices; this snow remains in protected hollows beneath the cornice, known as nivation niches, until late midsummer. These areas would be potential starting points for new glaciation if a new ice age were to break out.

Zastlertal = Valley of the glacial Zastlertal Glacier
