The Eduardshöhe is a mountain saddle on which five paths merge: to the north the little road via Horben-Münzenried to Horben-Ort, to the east the path to the Holzschlägermatte with the windmills, to the southeast the path via Lehhof, Kaltwasser to Gießhübel, to the west the Echerüttiweg to the Berglusthaus of the Black Forest Association and to the northwest the way to Eckhof and Hörnle.

Nice place with a wide view. It can be endured here.

Nice view - up here there are always interesting and wonderful views deep and wide!

"The" wind drill "by Thomas Rees. It rises six meters into the sky, similar to the tree from whose trunk it was sawn, a red oak, probably before. Following the nature of the tree, the" wind drill "stands upright on the ridge , his gaze fixed in the air in the direction of the Notschreipass. The drill he is holding winds up in the sky and fights or plays with the wind, depending on the strength. A cross strut gives the device the appearance of a compass, which Indicates cardinal direction. " https://kulturstrandgut.de/?p=693

when the view is clear, the Feldberg seems close enough to touch

On the ridge between the solar observatory and the Schauinsland summit, where the wind really whistles, the wind drill will find its final place on May 28, 2008 - with a view of the Kappler Valley and Freiburg. Source: https://www.freiburg-schwarzwald.de/littenweiler/windbohrer.htm

Kybfelsen Castle or Kyburg is the name given to the minimal remains of an earlier castle or defense system that was located south of the Kybfelsen mountain peak on a rock massif of the same name. The remote location at around 820 meters above sea level on this rock massif between Günterstal and Kappel is now a popular excursion destination, with a great view of the Breisgau Bay and Günterstal. Almost nothing is known about the origins of the castle and its end. A written mention comes from the chronicle of Matthias von Neuchâtel from the 14th century, where it is already shown as a ruin. A district plan from the 18th century still shows considerable rubble. The first excavations took place in the 1920s, where finds from the 12th and 13th centuries were discovered. It is concluded that the castle was probably abandoned at the end of the 13th century. Possible residents include relatives of the Counts of Kyburg, a noble family whose main power was in what is now northern and eastern Switzerland. However, it is more likely that it is a coincidental similarity of names. Source: https://www.alemannische-seiten.de/deutschland/freiburg_burg-kybfelsen.php
