Alpus dangerous forest 1.13/19/2024 Some of these sediments are maritime deposits from intercontinental oceans the others are of continental origin. It, too, was eroded away, and, during the Mesozoic and Early Triassic, beds of Bunter sandstone, Muschelkalk, Keuper, Lias, Dogger and Malm were deposited in the resulting sedimentation space. The "second Feldberg" arose during the Devonian and Carboniferous, as part of the Variscan orogeny. The "first Feldberg" was formed in the Precambrian as part of an orogen and was then completely eroded away. What exists today can be called the "third Feldberg". The Feldberg region was uplifted three times and then eroded again. The mountain's bedrock of gneiss is around one billion years old. Thus the view sweeps from the Italian Mont Blanc to southwest Germany and from Austria to France. In front of the Western Alps and, particularly right of Mont Blanc, can be seen the Swiss Jura, with their highest point, the Chasseral. ![]() ![]() To the south, the Alps can be seen from the Alpspitze and Zugspitze in the east to the Allgäu Alps, Verwall Alps, Silvretta, Säntis, Glarus Alps, Urner Alps, Bernese Alps and Mont Blanc in the west. To the north is the Hornisgrinde to the northeast the entire chain of the Swabian Jura, including the Lemberg, and, to its right, the Hegau volcanoes. Beyond that the southern Palatinate Forest can sometimes be seen. In the west, on the far side of the Upper Rhine Graben, can be seen the entire Vosges range, from the Ballon d'Alsace to Mont Donon and Mont Sainte-Odile. The Feldberg offers one of the most extensive panoramic views in Germany – especially in winter when there is a temperature inversion. In 2005, a new nature trail was established immediately behind the house. They have a permanent, interactive exhibition and a comprehensive programme with events in the reserve. Since 2001 it has been the responsibility of the Southern Black Forest Nature Conservation Centre, based in the Haus der Natur ("Nature House"), to look after the reserve. The Feldberg Nature Reserve is the oldest and largest in Baden-Württemberg and has been under the charge of a full-time ranger since 1989. Most of the Feldberg area has the status of a nature reserve due to its subalpine vegetation. The whole area, with ski-runs of Alpine character, is popular for ski touring. Several cross-country skiing trails around the peak and around Herzogenhorn opposite are popular with cross-country skiers. The actual summit itself is situated outside the skiing areas. Today Feldberg is marked by the old and new television towers and the Bismarck monument on the Seebuck.Īltogether there are more than 28 ski lifts and slopes around the Feldberg. The numerous point-to-point radio systems of the Bundeswehr and the American and French armies dating from the Cold War period have been since taken down. It is only accessible to the public on foot or by bicycle. From this point the summit of the Feldberg is about two kilometres ( 1 + 1⁄ 4 mi) away. The Seebuck, which is topped by an old transmission tower, the Feldberg Tower, once a radio tower, since 2013 a ham museum can be reached from the valley station in Feldberg-Ort on a short chairlift. A train service of the Three Lakes Railway serves the station of Feldberg-Bärental, at 967 metres (3,173 ft), the highest DB station on standard gauge track. The main car park below the Seebuck can be reached from the B317 (federal highway) running from Titisee to Lörrach (near Basle) over the Feldberg Pass. Deeply incised valleys run northwest towards Freiburg (the Zastler and St Wilhelmer valleys) and southwest towards Basle ( Wiesental valley). ![]() From the Seebuck the Feldberg drops steeply away to the northeast into the Feldsee, a lake of glacial origin at about 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) altitude. The saddle initially descends gently and then ever more steeply into the valleys on either side. About two kilometres southeast of the summit lies the village of Feldberg (1,277 metres (4,190 ft)).īetween the main peak (1,493 metres (4,898 ft), also known as the Höchste or "Highest", and its subpeak, the Seebuck (1,448 metres (4,751 ft)), just under 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) away, is a saddle, the Grüble, from which a wide spur, the Baldenweger Buck (1,460 metres (4,790 ft)) branches off. The Feldberg is situated southeast of Freiburg im Breisgau and is surrounded by the municipalities of Hinterzarten (northeast), Titisee (east), Menzenschwand (south), Bernau (also south) and Todtnau (southwest). The local municipality of Feldberg was named after the mountain. ![]() At 1,493 metres (4,898 ft) the Feldberg in the Black Forest is the highest mountain in Baden-Württemberg, and the highest in Germany outside of the Alps and Bavaria.
