The Feldberg tower, which was owned by the Southwest German Radio (SWR) until 2001 and used as a broadcasting tower, has belonged to the municipality of Feldberg since 2003. The tower was already opened to visitors in the summer of 2003.
The Feldberg tower can be comfortably reached in a few minutes with the Feldberg cable car or in around 40 minutes by foot. (Starting point: House of Nature in Feldberg-Ort).
Situated on the highest peak of the Black Forest with wide-ranging views of the neighbouring European countries is a museum dedicated to the region’s important regional culinary specialty and thereby also to the region and its people: The Black Forest Ham Museum. It is located in the Feldberg tower and is open from May (after maintenance of the Feldberg cable car) to October.
