View from Hochblauen

Highlight • Viewpoint

The view from the Hochblauen is looking for its equal! There is a great view in almost every direction. In the direction of Switzerland, if the weather is good, even a sensational view of the Alps 😊

Summit of Blauen

Highlight • Summit

The southern driveway from Kandern is a full eight kilometers longer than the one from the northwest via Badenweiler, so the gradient here is largely moderate and manageable even for those with less fitness. There is only a steeper ramp with up to twelve percent, but you can gain strength from several village fountains, at least one of which is always in operation - an advantage that the consistently demanding driveway via Badenweiler does not offer. For ambitious drivers, the other direction of travel is generally recommended, especially since the descent to Kandern allows significantly higher speeds due to fewer curves.

February 19, 2023,Müllheimer Egerten - Hochblauen

Today we were once again on the high blue. Beautiful paths lead uphill from the car park at the Müllheimer Egerten to the summit. A detour to the observation tower was only partially worthwhile today, the Belchen was still hanging in the clouds, the sun was only shining in places in the Rhine Valley. So we went down again on …

The mountain restaurant on the Blauen is being renovated. At the kiosk completely overpriced prices and disposable tableware. Absolutely not recommended. Take your backpack food with you.

August 22, 2021,Müllheimer Egerten - Blauen

The starting point of today's tour on the Hochblauen was the parking lot at the top of the Müllheimer Egerten pass. From there we followed the Westweg on narrow paths steeply uphill to the summit. We decided not to visit the blue tower, which was built by the Black Forest Association in 1895, due to the modest view today. Normally …

Ideal for warm summer days, as it is pleasantly cool and shady in the forest. Nice view from the Blauen (1165m). Even though it is not one of the highest mountains in the Black Forest, it offers one of the most beautiful views around. On a clear day you can see as far as the Alps in Switzerland.
