Hochfirst (Black Forest)

The Hochfirst is a wooded mountain between Saig and Titisee-Neustadt in the Black Forest in Germany with a height of 1,190.1 m above sea level (NHN).

This pedestal was part of the original wooden tower built in 1888 that was the victim of a hurricane in 1890.

Today the tower bears antennas for microwave and mobile phone communications.

[3][4] The Hochfirst may be climbed on the Freiburg-Lake Constance Black Forest Trail (Schwarzwald-Querweg Freiburg–Bodensee) from Titisee or the Central Way (Mittelweg) from Neustadt.

Along the southeastern slopes of the mountain there is also a cross country skiing loipe, the Hochfirstspur (9.9 km long, height 910–1,057 m, start and finish near the church in Saig, classic style).
