Feldsee
A cirque lake at the foot of Feldberg, its deep green water ringed by steep forest; one of the Black Forest’s classic hiking destinations.
Feldsee is a cirque lake carved by glacial erosion on Feldberg’s eastern slope. It covers about 9 hectares, and fir forest grows on the steep shoreline cliffs. The lake contains rare aquatic plants, and it is a nature reserve where swimming is prohibited. From the Haus der Natur at Feldberg, go down past the Seebuck viewpoint to the lakeshore and loop back, which takes about 2–3 hours. The Bismarck monument at Seebuck is the best spot for an overhead view of the lake. The trail has steep gravel sections, so wear hiking boots.
