Hohlohturm

Just wonderful, great views over the northern Black Forest to Hornisgrinde. Hut available.

... also "Kaiser Wilhelm Tower". Highly recommended as it offers a great panoramic view.
Who likes to count steps: The tower has 156-157 depending on the faith.

The large parking lots at Kaltenbronn are noticeable - if you are often relatively alone on the surrounding (long) hiking trails, it is quickly quite crowded on public holidays or weekends.

In good weather you can see very far in every direction. The tower is definitely worth a visit. For the fear of heights, one can also mention that it does not wobble even in wind, you can see nowhere through the ground and the railing is very massive at the top.

The Hohlohturm, formerly known as the Kaiser Wilhelm Tower, lies on top of one
Altitude of 984 meters above sea level
in the Kaltenbronn nature reserve.
The original tower from 1856 was made of wood and 15 meters high.
The new tower from 1887 was already made of stone and 20 meters high.
It was expanded in 1968 because of the taller trees and today measures 28.6 meters

Definitely worth a visit to ask for a small 50ct balance for the climb

Nice view over the northern Black Forest.

The tower is open daily from 9: 00-19: 00 and is freely accessible, it is only asked for a small donation.

The tower stands at a height of over 980 meters above sea level. Open: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. It is worth going up the approximately 160 steps. This brings you to over 1000 meters above sea level. Very good distant view; weather permitting, the Vosges or even the Alps can be spotted. Recommendation: take binoculars with you.

When the weather is good you can see as far as the Vosges. Beautiful sunsets and distant views.

Its summit is the highest point in the city of Gernsbach and in the eastern main ridge of the Northern Black Forest, the ridge between the rivers Murg and Enz.

Characteristic of the existing Hohloh Buntsandstein are its extensive summit plateau, including the Hohlohturm (Kaiser Wilhelm Tower) and the protected rain moor with bog lakes on the plateau.

Great view over the northern Black Forest to the Hornisgrinde and the Rhine Valley. From here you can also watch beautiful sunsets. Worth a visit in every season! Anyone who visits the Kaltenbronn must have been here.

The Hohlohturm lies at an altitude of 984 m above sea level in the Kaltenbronn nature reserve above Gernsbach-Reichental. It is a popular destination for hikers or mountain bikers from the Murg Valley. But also from Enzklösterle and the Albtal lead the way to the Hohlohturm.

From the tower you have a great view in good weather ...

In 1856 made of wood and 15 meters high, the hollow tower was rebuilt in 1887 and made of stone with a height of 20 meters. The taller trees provided for an increase in 1968, today the hollow tower measures 28.6 meters

Great massive tower with a breathtaking view over the Black Forest, Rhine plain to Karlsruhe.
Be sure to climb the tower and enjoy the view!

The view is sensational, 👍🏻

Officially, the tower is only open during the day. But nobody comes to connect and so you can watch the stars at night. During the day you can see as far as France. The Rhine is easy to see, but the Badener Höhe is also a little closer and the Hornisgrinde is clearly visible. Both places where you will pass later on the Westweg ...

Who climbs the Hohlohturm is over 1000 meters high and enjoyed fantastic views of the Murg Valley. ,

Always nice, great views and great starting point for hiking and Mozntainbike tours

Easy to reach from one of the many parking lots at Kaltenbronn.
Can be combined with a path through the moor.

With the best view of the Vosges, ... not only today.

Great view of Alsace
