Battert

The Battert is a hill, 567.9 m above sea level (NHN),[1] on the western edge of the Northern Black Forest north of Baden-Baden in Germany.

The red rock face is visible from far off and may be easily reached on the road to the ruins of Hohenbaden or from a car park near Ebersteinburg.

By contrast with their immediate environment, the rocks of the Battertfelsen silicified due to an east-west oriented fault line.

An area of 34.9 hectares around the Battertfelsen and east of Hohenbaden Castle on the south side of the hill was declared as a nature reserve by the Regierungspräsidium Karlsruhe on 30 June 1981.

The geologically and earth-historically important rock group is home to rare insects, reptiles, ravens and peregrine falcons and also to rare plant species, especially in the stone run woodland below the rock faces.
