The Hochkopf is a wooded ridge north of the village of Todtmoos in the southern part of the High Black Forest.
At 1,263.4 m above sea level (NHN)[1] its summit is one of the 20 highest points in the German state of Baden-Württemberg.
The boundary between Todtmoos and the village of Präg in the borough of Todtnau runs over the mountain.
Further down the mountain on the West Way (eastern route) stands the Hochkopfhaus, formerly a hiking hut owned by the Black Forest Club, but today a private hotel.
During weather inversions here there are clear views of the Alps from the Zugspitze to Mont Blanc.
