Fohrenbühl Memorial House and Observation Tower

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Turmhütte on the Mooswaldkopf, built in 1904, was converted in 1923/24 into the "Memorial House of the Fallen of the World War 1914-18 from the Württemberg Black Forest Association". Today's Gedächtnishaus Fohrenbühl is a popular destination with a large terrace.

From the platform of the 24-meter-high observation tower, you can enjoy a fantastic panoramic view over the Central Black Forest. You can also stay overnight in the Turmhütte. Handmade souvenirs are available in the small on-site ceramic shop.

All information can be found at turmhuette.de.
