エーレンキルヒェンの絶景の山頂・トップ20

The Belchenhaus was built in 1898 as a shelter below the Belchen summit. It is located at 1,360 meters and is therefore the highest inn and restaurant in Baden-Württemberg. Guests sometimes describe the south terrace in front of the house as one of the most beautiful tavern terraces in the Black Forest.

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.

The Schlossbergturm is a 33.27 meter high observation tower on the Schlossberg. The Schlossberg Tower was erected in 2002 by the Board of Trustees on the Salzbüchslekuppe. For the construction, the architect used 100-year-old Douglas fir trunks from the local Ottilienwald, which fell over due to the severe hurricane Lothar in 1999. The long logs were twisted around the steel staircase. In honor of all donors who made construction possible in 2002, their names were placed on the face of the 153 steps to the top of the tower and can be read when climbing the tower. However, the natural construction with the tree trunks was repeatedly attacked by fungi and pests in the years that followed. In July 2015, the dilapidated logs were finally removed after several rescue attempts. After the tower was inaccessible for a long time, it was finally renewed in 2017 by the board of trustees and the donations they collected. In this step, the tree trunks were replaced by a reliable steel construction. The cost of the renovation was 192,000 euros, but the city expects the galvanized steel pylons to last 100 years.

The Belchenhaus is at an altitude of 1360 m. Hiking trails lead here from all directions, or you can also use the Belchenbahn, whose mountain station is right next to it. We recommend taking a break here with a fantastic view to the south and the🇨🇭! You can fortify yourself in the rest. Or on the terrace, or have a picnic on the many benches. In 15 minutes you can also reach the Belchen summit, from where you can enjoy a magnificent 360° view!

A great highlight. Nice to combine with a short hike on the Schloßberg. The tower is easy to reach from the old town. However, you should be good on foot. After a steep climb, you reach the tower via at least 200 steps 😏

You can see the cable car ...: p the mountains in the background are much nicer

One of the many good prospects on the way to the Belchen

Regardless of which side you get to the summit from, there are always beautiful views - that's the Belchen 🙂
