Belchen Summit, Belchenhaus and Cable Car Station

Highlight • Summit

There is a vending machine between Belchenhaus and Berstation, where you can buy chilled drinks (including beer) and small snacks (snickers, pretzels, etc.) at fair prices. Very good if you need a small meal and the Belchenhaus has already closed.

Belchen House

Highlight • Mountain Hut

When the weather is nice, the inn is very full due to the cable car. It's self-service - you place your order at the counter and you get drinks straight away. If you want to eat, you have to announce the table number and the food will be brought. This worked extremely quickly during our visit. You take drinks from the bar. It's a simple menu (potato salad with Wiener, schnitzel fries, soup of the day). The cake is delicious.

Belchensteig Frame Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Located at the top station of the Belchenbahn. In my opinion, the trail offers better views.

View of the Alps from Belchen

Highlight • Viewpoint

Almost every travel and hiking guidebook praises the Belchen as the Black Forest's most beautiful viewpoint. And it's true – even when visibility is moderate, the Feldberg massif, the Swiss Alps, the Rhine Valley, and the Vosges Mountains are clearly visible.

Belchen Summit (1,414 m)

Highlight • Summit

The Belchen is not the highest mountain, but it is one of the most beautiful mountains in the Black Forest, because it offers visitors a fantastic panoramic view of the Rhine Valley, the Vosges and, in good weather, even as far as the Alps. As one of the most popular excursion destinations in the southern Black Forest, the Belchen is well frequented all year round.
