Guided Story

Look up at the Roßkopfturm, a stunning piece of 19th-century steel latticework. Did you know this tower was commissioned by the Black Forest Association in 1889 to showcase the region's beauty? Behind you, a short walk away, you'll find the charming St. Ottilien Chapel, another gem in the area. Now, if you look straight ahead, imagine how people over a century ago stood here, marveling at the view just as you are today. It's especially magical when the first rays of sunlight bathe the landscape in gold. Enjoy this blend of history and nature as the wind whispers through the trees and birds sing overhead.
