The Feldberg is the highest mountain of the Black Forest in Baden-Württemberg, southwest Germany, at 1,494 metres, about 18 km southeast of Freiburg in a straight line. It is the highest mountain in the state and the highest in Germany outside the Alps and Bavaria. It is surrounded by Hinterzarten, Titisee and Todtnau, and the village of Feldberg lies about two kilometres southeast of the summit. A broad saddle links the main summit to its subpeak, the Seebuck, from which the mountain drops steeply to the Feldsee, a lake of glacial origin. Most of the area is a nature reserve for its subalpine plants, the oldest and largest in the state. The summit is a wide, open height covered in pasture, with views across the hills and valleys of the Black Forest. From the Seebuck the blue Feldsee appears ringed by dark forest, and in winter snow covers the whole upland. Visitors take a short chairlift from Feldberg village to the Seebuck, from where the summit is about two kilometres on foot or by bike. In winter more than 28 ski lifts and slopes spread around the mountain, along with cross-country trails.
