Rinkenkopf

The Rinkenkopf is a mountain, 760 m high,[1] on the territory of Baiersbronn in the Northern Black Forest.

Several hiking trails lead there, including the Murgleiter and der Genießerpfad to the Sattelei Hut.

In the gift register (Schenkungsbuch) of Reichenbach Abbey is the first mention of the mountain around 1100: in monte qui Rincga vocatur.

The ring-shaped earthworks were probably already in existence at this time and gave the mountain its name.

[2] In 1914, the Württemberg Black Forest Club erected a 16-metre-high observation tower at the southeastern end of the mountain ridge.
